Html Email Signature Returning .png File On Outlook Reply

I'm creating some email signatures for my company and I've come across a little problem. I've got it working with Outlook fine (when I send to a user with Outlook the signature lo

Solution 1:

The VML method is only used for background images when sending HTML emails from a deployment service such as Campaign Monitor, MailChimp, etc. When sending an email from within Outlook, the program itself will add its own code to your signature, which will remove/strip the coding you've created (Including the VML code).

To top it off, Outlook is notorious for messing with the HTML of any email upon reply, so there's no way to guarantee what you've sent will remain intact.

Solution 2:

Incase anyone is wondering in the future.. I solved this problem by simply placing the images in a table and table cells.

Outlook renders the signature fine now (well Outlook 2007?) - Lotus notes on the other hand has a panic attack and renders everything with red x's.

I'm having a problem with Outlook 2010 - It's putting a gap in between the first and second ... could anyone see what's going wrong with this code?
