2. Upload all the images from the archive we have sent you, folder "images" to your FTP folder "mail-images".
3. Now open email.html with any text editor (notepad for example) from the archive we have sent you.
4. Replace all image source paths, so all images point to your hosting - http://yourdomain.com/mail-images/image.gif. You can do that by finding and replacing - find "images/" and replace it with "http://yourdomain.com/mail-images/".
