disappearance of "." from table column

Hi All,

I'm puzzled by the disappearance of the "." character from my image source. What I am doing is inserting in the <img src="pic.gif"> in one of the columns called html_content in my email_outbox table and another application will send out an email with the content coming from this html_content.

When I receive the email, however, I cannot see the gif image. I've noticed that in my html source code, the image source has changed into <img src = "picgif">. I have no clue as to why my dot all of sudden disappeared.
Any ideas as to why this is happening will be greatly appreciated. Received on Wed Dec 22 2004 - 15:51:14 CST
