Problems with System.Mail Class

In short, I've written a newsletter component which sends out an HTML email.
However, whilst everything seems to work fine if email is downloaded onto a
windows pc, the same email doesn't download images/format correctly on mac
in entourage.

I create the HTMl page as normal, with images given relative links... such
as

<img src="images/someimage.jpg" />

likewise, the css file is linked with relative path...

Then in code-behind I set the UrlContentBase property to the webroot.

Any idea why this doesn't work in Entourage 2004 for Mac??

Infact... it just hasn't worked at all properly. When I print out the
windows email, the Mac output is produced...

Is there anyway around this... or do I just include full path details in the
message??

HTML emails are very tricky to get right on all clients. See the Knowledge base here:
