email signature question

[nodoz]

I made an email signature using Notepad in HTML. I have a logo as well as
text. The logo is src at the folder on the desktop. It seems to send okay on
my machine (to myself). Is there any reason why I shouldn't use this setup,
rather than placing the image on a server because if everyone had to right
click a logo...well they wouldn't bother so it would defeat the purpose
somewhat.

And while I'm here....what is best practice/standard practice to reduce the
size of an image sent as an attachment?

thx!

Best practice is to not include images. Images in signatures add no
information to the content of the message and are therefore a waste of
bandwidth.

I wasn't talking about images in email signatures, rather images as
attachments.

if sending as attachments, zip them. otherwise, use an image editor to
resize them.
