- Always check that images have full paths:
Ex: Correct: http://images.maktoob.com/emailshot/client/images/logo.gif

- If the images paths came from the client’s server its ok.
- If you used mapping on images, please use a unique name for it & don't use: "FPMap0"

- Fill out the height and width tags for images, this helps accommodate faster load time.
Ex: <img src=" http://images.maktoob.com/emailshot/client/images/test.gif" height="15" width="30">
