I'm trying, with what few gray cells I have left, to develop a CiviMail template in 3.? running on Drupal 6.24.
I can paste in an image, and it looks fine, but doesn't go out in the mail. Even when I specify what I think is a valid path in the Image Properties screen, I lose the image and it doesn't go out with a test mailing. I do not get a browse button in the Image Properties screen.
I'd also like to be able to change the table column sizes so I have a narrow sidebar with static info.
I also seem to have a limited tool set in Civi compared to what I get in Drupal Content (running CKEditor 1.11)
I just played around with the Civi 4.1.? demo and it seemed much more capable. I've been afraid to upgrade because I was worried about getting all the dependencies, paths, etc. right in the middle of production of a mass mailing.
If I do the upgrade, am I going to get those features (browse button, etc.) or is the fault in my underlying Drupal configuration?
Also, I'd like to have a better-looking, stylisticly-compatible {domain.address} token. Is it possible to format tokens and if so, how?
As always, thanks for any help.

Thanks, Pete. Upon further research, I find that Civi, at least in the 3.3 version I am using, doesn't like embedded graphics because if bulks up the email and might trigger spam blockers and blacklists. So it transmits tokens (little java icons). I get that a lot with other email, but I get an option on the screen to trust content for the sender in the future and display it. Not with Civi.
I had cut-and-pasted content from MS Word and MS Image Composer, with mixed success, but I hadn't tried cutting and pasting in HTML, so I will give that a try. I've got a parallel struggle going on with HTML composing (to old and lazy to really learn HTML; I go back to the key-punch era, never learned much command line other than DOS and a little UNIX and SQL, and I really, really, like GUIs).
