These are great but I've always resisted having a single jpg or gif image as the masthead of my newsletter.
That's because if the recipient is blocking images and does not know how to turn them on they would just see a great big placeholder at the top, possibly affecting their perception of the newsletter as a whole.
I usually have a smaller image on the left with the client's logo and on the right the newsletter description in large text, with the text colour complementing the logo.
Am I am being over cautious here?!

You know, you're not wrong. Interestingly enough, have you seen this article we posted a while back?

Interesting read about how images might render (or not render) should you keep a big image located at the top.
Thanks for the feedback Julian.
