I have created an Outlook template that contains embedded images behind
table objects (source code below).

Opening the template is fine - the images display correctly. However if I
then use the template to post an email, the images disappear in the email
that is sent.

Any ideas what is up? Normal images continue to display correctly.

Here is the HTML source code:

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
HTMLHEAD
META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR/HEAD
BODY
H1test web page/H1
PHello this is a web page
HR
IMG src="cid:myident3"
TABLE background=cid:myident1
TBODY

Attached is a copy of the template if you want to try it

Save the email and don't send it and look at the HTML. Do the same in Sent
Items after sending and then in Inbox after receiving the email. See what's
different. Also make sure the embedded attachments survived the round trip.
