Stationery Problem with ImageMaps OL2K / 2K2

[Jonathan S.]

Good Evening All,

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I'm developing a pretty simple stationery for a customer. Basically it's
a three row table with images used as headers and footers. The footer
image has 7 e-mail addresses on it and I setup a simple inline imagemap
to facilitate hyperlinking.

All good so far. Note that I developed the page in Notepad, and tested
it using Outlook 2000 SR-1.

I've sent the e-mail friends and colleagues who also use Outlook,
Thunderbird, Eudora, Opera, and others. They everybody was able to
utilize the imagemap links... except the customer.

The customer is running Outlook 2002 SP3 and when they receive an e-mail
that uses the stationery they can't use the links. When they create an
e-mail message using the stationery they can't use the links. Very strange.

The customer's headers show that they are running Microsoft Exchange
V6.5.7226.0. I don't know if that's at all relevant to this discussion.

I've tried just about everything I know and I'm frankly looking at a
dead end. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

Jonathan

PS: Here are two code snippets of what's happening (I cleaned the
customer version a bit for readability:
