Check whether your pictures are referenced by absolute URLs.

[adewan]

thank you, this confirms my suspicion that it is a "linking" issue. but it also raises a key question:

since this is not a web site - just html mail - where do i specify the
absolute url to my images.....Photoshop, Dreamweaver?

[stanbusk]

In any place, it doesn't matter. What matters is that each picture is referenced properly. Are your pictures online?

[adewan]

the sliced pic is on my hard drive (which is why i am stumped as to what url to use ) - it serves as a background-design. i have isolated some areas on the pic as image maps that do , in fact, reference my web site.

All this is explained here: HTML messages with online pictures and here HTML messages with embedded inline pictures (MHTML).

By the way, don't use maps, almost no e-mail reader support them.
