jpg in signature

OK, I created an html file with a jpg, changed the path to the jpg,
everything works fine. But when a new email is created the picture is
down there with the little boxes around it. Can I get rid of that?

what do you mean "little boxes"? I've managed it with no box. this may help:
To find and replace the image location,
1. Navigate to your image file with Windows Explorer.
2. Right-click the image name and select Properties.
3. On the General tab, click to the right of the Location: line.
4. Right-click and choose Select All
5. Press Ctrl+C to copy the file path to your clipboard.
6. Using Notepad or a HTML editor, open your HTML signature file.
7. Locate the line with src=�cid:
8. Remove the contents between the quotes.
9. Press Ctrl+V to paste in your file path.
10. Append that path with a slash and the file name such as \logo.png
11. Save your file.
In my case, I replaced
src�cid:405D5lBC76764 I 778l5 I AD4AX I 03435fra)Blimpcr�
with
src=�C:\Documents md Settings\Compaq C)wncr\.4y Documents\N4y
Pictures\logo.png’
Although you do have to do extra work to add an image to your email
signature, it can be worth the effort. The good news is you only have to do
this process once per signature. And for those people that haven’t tried
Windows live Mail, you should consider it as it offers more features and
security.

Housetrained, thanks for the reply.

What I mean is, when I create a new email the sig is there, image is
there, that's all fine. But it has a square around it with the little
boxes in the corners. Sort of like when a picture is inserted so it can
be moved and resized. Those boxes.

That just indicates that the image is selected (as if you'd clicked on it) in case you want to modify it using the options on the /Format/ tab. Click somewhere else and the little boxes (/anchors/, I think is the name for them) will go away.

All is well. Send an email to yourself. Those "boxes" wont appear. They
are there when you compose the email because you are in "edit" mode.

You can also view the message as the recipient would (should) when you
save your message to draft. Then, use the draft "preview" window. You
should see your graphic w/o boxes.
