Does anyone know how to insert a link into a jpeg so that when I send an email the recipient can scroll over the image and it will link to my website?

I have tried PS, Image Ready and even word...all of which will show all is working fine at my end but the recipient is ending up with a blank box...still a link but no image.

Thanks in advance...

At the very least you've got to be sending html code of some sort and not trying to embed the link in the jpeg. And the person receiving it must be using an email client that understands html.

Most mail clients can now display HTML, so that shouldn't be a problem. What *is* the problem is how to handle the embedded image - you're probably best to host the image on your website, then link to it within the HTML. Be sure to provide an alt tag for the image, to remain readable even if the recipient is offline.
