Weirdnes in Graphics for Outlook Signatures

She would love to not do that. She's told the person that he shouldn't do that for all of those reasons. Unfortunately he insists, and he pays the bills.
And for some odd reason Outlook 2007 screws with the image proportions if you just use a JPEG. And there seems to be little rhyme or reason to how it decides to butcher a given image: shrink it, enlarge it, squish it horizontally or vertically, etc.

That butchering is probably still more consistent than the recipient displays of a coded signature. You have no way of controlling at all how it gets shown on the other end. It will be even worse if a person has html turned off - and there are a lot of people who do that.
shmokes:
I don't know how all clients work, but I know that if you have HTML turned off in Novell GroupWise the signatures simply don't show up. Hopefully that's how most email clients work, as it seems silly to show somebody a bunch of gobbledeegook simply because they don't want to see HTML emails.
ChadTower:
IIRC most have settings that determine what you'll see of an HTML email. Some will see a text version with the html stripped. Others will see the raw HTML.
