Evolution: Including images as part of the signature block

Hello

I am needing some assistance please on inserting images into an 
Evolution outgoing email signature block. This concerns Evolution 2.6.3. 
running on a GNU/Linux Debian Etch platform.

At present, I have constructed a signature block with the following 
components: an image (digitised hand signature), above a text block of 
name and job title, above a 2-celled table, with one cell containing the 
image of the company's logo and the second, a text block with contact 
details. HTML has been enabled.

In preview, all components are visible. While writing an email all 
components are visible. Once the email has been sent, in the Sent 
folder, all except the logo are visible (this is now seen as only a 
place-holder). Feedback from recipients confirms that the results in the 
Send folder are how the emails are received, with place-holders in the 
place of company logo.

I have experimented with the image itself, opening it in Gimp and saving 
it as - variously - a *.gif, a *.jpg, and now a *.png format. All 
results are the same.

Google does yield some results about positions of signature block, but 
AFAIK, nothing on the specifics of what I am experiencing. I am confused 
as to why the digitised signature (a *.jpg) file is preserved but the 
logo is not. Is this because it is within a table or is there another 
more subtle reason.

I would appreciate any help that list users could offer in rectifying 
this matter, as the options to the signature function do not seem very 
extensive to do the trick.

TIA

Andy
