To put a company logo as part of the signature of my e-mail, is it better to embed the image in the email or to link to it on my web site??
What problems would either method cause if any??
cheers

Be aware though, HTML e-mails don't always display well at all and will look terrible when viewed if the graphics are missing.
IMHO, stick to a plain text footer.

Allthough you have sent me a complete html email rather than just an image
Looks OK in outlook and my Webmail, allthough.. many free webmail clients won't be able to view the html mail.
Plus , as DJ Dunk says , many companies block images.

HTML is the curse of email systems.
If you are sending to technical people, don't sent in HTML.
Marketing/Sales droids love it.

Why stop at an image, why not embed an animated GIF. Better still, how about a five minute MPEG? 
Please DO NOT clog up e-mails with unnecessary attachments (whether inline or whatever) as they waste bandwidth and often don't work properly anyway - unless you use some virus friendly reader such as Microshat Overlook!!!

I hate it when people embed logo images onto emails. Our corporate mailsweeper blocks all image attachments, therefore causing delays in receiving emails from important clients.
We are a FTSE100 company, so no small fry, and I would image the same goes for many other large businesses.
A simple formatted font signature normally suffices.
