Hi Jason,

Happy you got that sorted out. As for your question, that's the syntax for including an inline image. So, for your specific case:

Creating a link in markdown would be:

        [Text](url)

Adding and Image:

        ![Alt Text](Image URL)

Combine both to get you end result:

        [![](image url)](URL)

More details [here](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#img)

Cheers,
Pedro

I feel your pain, we have the same policy at work :(
I'd advise you host the image somewhere (Droplr, Dropbox etc.) and then create a Markdown signature with the image in it.
some thing along these lines should work:

Hope this helps.

It *does*, thank you (I'll treat you to it below).

If you have the patience, what does the exclamation mark in square brackets do? I had mucked around with creating links but had not quite got it to work properly. That seems to be the missing factor). I realise this is OT - perhaps reply privately (with my thanks).

As for using Markdwon in my signature - previous reply, thanks - , I had found that the raw text kept getting through and had not troubleshooted, so have been using plain text since emailers parse it all anyway.

Perhaps I can persuade other people to do this - it solves the attachment-when-searching issue but also they are struggling to make it clickable apparently (hah! the fools! so little do they know of how these things work in Outlook-land)
