Adding images to Puremessage disclaimer messages

Does anybody know how to display images in the Puremessage email disclaimer?  I am not an HTML expert and am having difficulty getting any HTML document to show the image unless it is in the same folder as the text itself.  With Puremessage, if you put the jpeg file into the directory where the xml document is that holds the disclaimer, it deletes the file so I need to be able to put a path in but it doesn't appear to recognise it.

Has anybody done this successfuly and, if so, would you mind letting me have the coding so I can see what the syntax should be.

Thanks

  • Is it not possible to use text for a disclaimer? Or are you just wanting a logo to accompany the disclaimer test?

    Could this be part of a signature? I don't know, just brain storming with you.

  • Hi, we have the usual text in the disclaimer but we want to add some images.  Loads of people seem to do it these days so it must be possible, although there does seem to be several different ways of achieving this.  We want the images to appear immediately so I don't want to use an http reference where the recipient has to right click and download them.

    I have now managed to get the image to appear in the preview pane of Puremessage but when the email is sent, the recipient just gets an empty box with a cross in the corner.  The syntax I am using is

    <img src="/EmailImages/bestcomp-ranked-500-logos.jpg" width=200 height=80>

    Is there an issue with jpgs?

  • Hello Jackie,

    I'm no PureMessage expert (indeed I do not know it at all) but I hope I can answer your question (although not as you would like).

    Basically there are two ways to display an image in a HTML-formatted mail:

    1) Include an external reference (that is what you did with your <img> tag although you didn't use http://)

    2) Include a "local reference" to an (additional) attachment

    Whether a user "immediately" sees the image in case 1) depends on her email client's settings (and the client would have to fetch the image from your site).

    In case 2 PureMessage not only would have to insert the disclaimer code but also have to correctly add an attachment. While this could be done I assume it is not implemented.

  • Hi, maybe you should consider adding disclaimers on your backend servers? If you are using exchange i recommend CodeTwo Exchange Rules. It has some really nice features, eg. not adding disclaimer if it already is in the message (when replying).

  • I am also after the same thing, Marketing department want to put on some logos for exhibitions and things for all end users and I would rather not have to change every client to make it work.

    Could someone from Sophos find out?
