Looking for a HTML email solution

I have a client who emails out with an image as the header of their html email.

Are there any solutions they can use so that that image is served from an
online server as I don't like attachment images. Really at a loose end as to
what to suggest?

It's really simple, assuming you or he have a hosting account somewhere -
for his web site, maybe?

Just upload the image to a location on that server, and link to it from the
HTML email, using an absolute path, like this:

http://www.thedomain.com/email_header.jpg

No reason he'd need to link to an .htm file, though..

Sorry I was not clear in my post...
That link is to an HTML email page for the OP to view the source code.
That email page contains many links to htm pages

so he types out his email in Outlook and then would simply enter this at the top of his email?

http://www.thedomain.com/email_header.jpg

?

surely it would just show up as a hypertext link?

no, he'd have to use the Insert menu and choose Insert HTML and then
paste it in there.

sent my last message too soon.

i meant to say that he (or you) might want to create a template or
something so that he doesn't have to insert it every time. it should be
fairly easy. i don't use Outlook, but i'm sure you can find out how to
do it in the help file.

sorry, one more thing. you also can't just enter the link when you
insert the html, you'd have to use an image tag, like so:
<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimage.gif" />

pretty much the same way you'd do it in a web page.

I figure you meant to say "many links to images"? Or else, you've lost me
completely. :-)
