[quote user="castoffs"]The said message only shows in the last release if you show html images.Now the message is there all the time. [/quote]

Ok, you saw a grey box instead of the message, but any signature image wasn't shown before either, and that's what hasn't changed. If you prefer grey boxes over error messages turn off IERenderer via it's button menu (the rightmost one on PM's main toolbar).

I use images in my signatures.  Since 4.7 the images are sent and received ok in the signatures as before, but if I look in the sent folder the images are not present and are replaced by the message: 'the url does not use a recognised protocol (12006)'.  These are just images added to the signature from my pc with the Pegasus signature editor.

You may not have seen this exact error message before, but this hasn't changed ever since HTML is supported. See here for details.

Not true.

1. The thread you quote was written after the release of 4.7

2. I just did a virtualboot of my machine prior to the release and the sent mail shows a grey box in place of thre image the same size and shape of the actual image.  The said message only shows in the last release if you show html images.Now the message is there all the time.
