sendEmailTemplate - Content includes image

I am using phprunner 10.8

I have situation where my template contains an image and if I display .html file outside of phprunner the image I want appears correctly.

If I have image in my template it only paints a box where the image should be and not the content of the image.

Here is a portion of the html code:

<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=29507&image=1&table=forumtopics" alt="" width="321" height="321" />
<p class="MsoNormal">To: <span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">%first_name% %last_name%</span>
<p

Per other questions on this topic that may be closed:

note: 10.7 had its problems with this functionality and 10.8 deefinately improved!

1. Subject is rendered correctly if you have a separate record for the subject and a second record for the text within the same file - I have not been able to enhance the subject i.e. bold with html it just prints the html code.

   
   

2. It would be nice to have option to specifiy multiple recipents in the to as well as options for cc and bcc
