How do i use online hosted graphics in an email merge in Outlook?

[Maetrix66]

I am attempting to create a email newsletter for my company, and the idea is
to create a HTML file that resembles our website, only with monthly content
changes to introduce new products or services. I am using Office 2003, and
have tried using Word as email editor (includes copy of images in email,
making filesize 500k), tried using Outlook as email editor (can't get layout
to look right). I can produce the document that I want (visually), but short
of cutting and pasting the URL's for the images into the source of the file
saved as a Web Page, filtered file, I can't get the images to appear. And it
still sends the images with the HTML file. I do not want to send it as an
attachment. it's the whole point is for it to appear in the body of the
email. THanks in advance for anyone that can help.

You are aware that most mail clients (including outlook) will not show
those images by default?
(and I don't know how to do it)

Yes.
I am not expecting 100% penetration with this newsletter, and the people that
have their email clients setup in that manner will be used to enabling to
graphics.
