Remove it. For an image to display in an email you need the full domain path included. Is $picture something like [a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/happyface.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.mysite.com/happyface.jpg[/a] ? [/quote] Yes, $picture is the full domain path. I have tried every combonation to get to work. Funny think is, if I place $message at the end of the HMTL it will display the message just like I want it on the webpage. go figure.
