Jeffrey,
Thanks for this. I figured out that HTML works and I apply a template
to locate the image. That works fine, except, if the data being
exported to Outlook is more than one page, it wants to make multiple
e-mails out of it.
Sort of a drag. So what I have done instead is to export as RTF and
use an Outlook template file that has the logo already.
