Murray,

Ignore th last post. It was not meant for you, but for a web site problem
that I have.

Here is what I placed in the html coding for my e-mail program.

<a href="http://www.lowpricecalling.com">
                <img src=''http://www.lowpricecalling.com/images/lpc logo (thumbnail).gif>''
                <img border="0" src="LPC.GIF" width="204" height="140" align="right"></a>

I must have done something wrong in the coding, because when the email was
sent today, I still had only the image outline (that was clickable) but no
graphic.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Ed
