The Mobile Me Gallery interface doesn't support hot-linking to its images. i.e. there is no explicit URL that will allow you to link to a specific image.

The solution is to download the image from the Mobile Me Gallery, then
upload it to a free hosting service, for example ImageBucket, Flickr etc,
which do allow direct access to images.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but there's no reliable workaround the
Mobile Me Gallery restrictions.

You need to specify a image hosted on a free image hosting site like
Flickr, ImageBucket etc.

An example would be http://farm1.static.flickr.com/15/19176774_a70c1b7351.jpg

We wanted to use images from the photo library initially. However if we
inserted a local image in the email, most email readers like Outlook,
Thunderbird or other web-mail readers do not display it, because this has
been, and still is a big spam issue. Currently only Apple products display
inline-images.

In the end, we compromised by referencing an image hosted on the Internet.

We have found an problem with image URLs that have spaces in the URL. This may cause the Mail Application to crash on iPhones running 3.0 or later. It appears that any image url in html sent to the Mail app will cause it to crash. (spaces in other html like anchors etc. does not appear to have the same issue).

Solution or Workaround is:
a) When naming your images, make sure you do not put spaces eg. "my picture.jpg" should be "mypicture.jpg", "my_picture.jpg" or "my-picture.jpg" when you upload your picture to the website that is hosting your image.

There are over 64,000 iPhone / iPod Touch applications available as of today. To buy them all, you would need a cool $149,000 USD. For your money you would own about 78% of all the apps. You would have to download the rest for free (22%). You would also own 22,000 free and paid games and if you're still bored, you'll have 6,300 books to read.

Not bad for an AppStore that just passed it's 1 Billionth download recently. Of course, even though only 22% of the apps are free, the 80/20 applies where over 80% are probably free downloads.

*** Update: this issue has been resolved in latest release ***

We have found an incompatibility running Signature under iPhone OS 3.0. If you have upgraded to OS 3.0, pressing Test Hot Link in the Edit Hot Link view may cause the application to quit. We have submitted a fix and waiting for Apple approval.
