Image in signature doesn't load

I have an html signature I've been using in OE but it doesn't seem to
work in WM.

When I insert the signature, I get a spaceholder with a red X. Looking
at the source of the message, I can see that the src="" part of the img
tag is empty. If I manually re-add the file path it does work but I
don't want to have to edit the source everytime. (Kinda defeats the
point of having a signature in the first place.)

This is the content of my signature.html file

Code:
--------------------
<img src="C:\Signature\signature.gif" alt="Zomby" width="403" height="230" hspace="0" border="0" align="baseline">
--------------------


I am using an absolute path and I've made sure that -Send pictures with
messages- is checked in messages HTML settings.

Anyone has an idea why it doesn't work?

Tools | Options | Send
Under mail click HTML Settings for and click Send Pictures with Messages.

It was already checked. I tried unchecking it, then turning it back on
again but no change.

Already tried that, with no result. As a web developper, I already
knew all of this... only thing weird is why WM keeps loading my html and
emptying the src of the img tag.

I tried providing a full file:// url or putting my image on a server
and referencing it with full http:// reference but it always ends up
empty. The only time it did not get emptied out is when I created the
message with WM and saved it in html, which created a cid: link that
didn't work.

I can add images to my messages without a problem. When I insert my
signature, I can select the placeholder, open the properties and select
the file. The images are correctly sent with the email message. It's
only the loading of the signature that seems to be problematic.

Have you tried a simple signature file containing something like this:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<img src="HardDrivePathToImage">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Yes, I did. It didn't work either. That's why I was so stumped.

The only thing that's working for me currently is unticking the -Block
images and other external content in HTML e-mail- in security options.
This leads me to believe that WM thinks my computer is an unsecure
external location, but I haven't been able to figure out why yet.

Yes, the "Block images..." setting works both ways, incoming
and outgoing. It's not a useful setting except for those who
need ultimate security or are paranoid. :-)
