hotmail and html message with image link

searain

I am trying to send out html message with the image link (link to images in my web site).

It all works fine except hotmail account.

the hotmail message did these things to my html message:

the <head></head> in my message are all lost. hotmail uses its own <head></head>.
all the image link urls are replaced by hotmail with its urls.

can i make it work or hotmail never work this way.

I'm confused as to what you're trying to do. Can you explain in a little more detail?

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello World</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<BASE HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/helloworld.html">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>

<table width="361" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
Hello World
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table width=361 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td> <img src="images/helloworld.gif"></td>

      </tr>     
    </table>
   </td>
</tr>

</table>
</BODY>

This is the html message I am sending out.

And outlook is fine. openwebmail is fine.

But in hotmail. I can only see the text part

"hello world"

but the image is not shown.

First:

<BASE HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/helloworld.html"> is lost in hotmail. hotmail get rid off my html message head part.

So without the base information, the image link is broken.

Second:

hotmail replace my code <img src="images/helloworld.gif"> with some codes like

<img src="http://64. XX.XX.XX//images/helloworld.gif"> add some kind http address by itself.

Thanks!

Oh, I see. You're sending a mail to a Hotmail account and it's not being read right. Well, there's no way around this that I know of. If the person uses Outlook Express or some other email program, they can probably read this message correctly when it's sent to Hotmail. Hotmail's webmail program has an extensive filter so nothing can change it around.

I don't know a way around that, if there even is one. You may have to specify a static address for the image, so it works.
