It sounds like the image isn't showing in the email by the msg is - is that correct?

 

It looks like you're using a static resource - is it publicly cached?

 it should load the image before dear applicant message, and the static resource is public :(

Have you made sure you have the fully qualified URL for the image? You need http://na5.salesforce.com/{$resource.} ? otherwise the email client will not know where to fetch the image.

 

I am not sure URLFOR will give you the domain part.

Hi i changed it to

 

<apex:image url="https://emea.salesforce.com{!URLFOR($Resource.Online_Application_Resource, 'Online_Application/Images/BOC_Logo.jpg')}"/><br/><br/>

 

now this works if i paste it in the browser address bar

 

but when i get the email it still has the red cross and does not load the image when clickinh download images?

Why doesn't this work for emails? Whats the point in using static resources?

 

if i use the old way i.e. put the imageserver url for documents then it works but u have to pass in ur org id?

As a best practice you should insert the global $Site.Domain instead of hardwiring your domain name:

 

<apex:image url="{!$Site.Domain}{!URLFOR($Resource .Online_Application_Resource, 'Online_Application/Images/BOC_Logo.jpg')}"/><br/> <br/>

Sorry, I wasn't thinking about the login requirement for the domain ... this post should help:

You need to make sure they URL is fully qualified and that the image is public, if it requires you to be logged into Salesforce to see the image, it will likely not work, as your session cookie most often will not be available to the email client, unless you are using a browser to access your email.
