i'm trying to copy our web site and use front page to
edit it so i can make an HTML email. however, when i go
to save my work it prompts me to save all the images.
When i do this it clears the image link that is set back
to our web site and when the html email goes out it no
longer shows the images.

I've gotten this from MS: You acquired this graphic from
another Web site

When you add a graphic to a Web page and then save it,
you are prompted to save that graphic to the Web site
that contains that Web page. If you acquired this graphic
from a shared location or another site, and you didn't
save it to a folder in your site, the path (path: The
route that the operating system uses to locate a folder
or file; for example, C:\House finances\March.doc.) to it
will be broken if that graphic is removed from the shared
location or Web site, and it will not display on your Web
page.

I do not want to save the images. I want to leave the
image links so they'll reference our web site to get the
image.

Please help,

I've tried everything
 
For an HTML e-mail the image links must be absolute not relative.
I'm not exactly sure I totally understand your question!

The best approach is to send a text email with a link to a html version on
your web site. --

You should use absolute URLs for the images if you want them to refer to the
location in your original web site.
An absoulte URL starts with "http://"
