First, try to simplify your posts for faster responses. this issue is fixed in more updated versions of Outlook. (I'm sure you know this) the HTML coading for 2003 doesnt work well when adding hyperlinks. Never did. Even with Outlook 2010, that has this feature, sometimes will display certain websites over others.

Below is best practice to adding an image to 2003:

To add a hyperlink:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...003082185.aspx

I still recommend finding a copy of Outlook 2007 or 2010 as they have a more functioning WYSISWYG interface.

Best Regards,
