Hi Nick, You can create a similar message as following (Microsoft Outlook 2007):
- Go to Tools -> Options -> Mail Format -> Signatures - Create a new signature (e.g. Demo) - Add a picture to your new signature (e.g. My Documents/My Pictures/Sample Pictures/Blue hills.jpg) - Send an email using that signature - Use the received message to do the test - Should be able to extract the image data Anyway, how can I send you the .msg file? Can I send you it to your email account? Thanks a lot Nick.
