So the image does not need to be included in the MHTML file.

Still with your local referencees in the HTML?

Because the second computer does not have that file.
Transfer that file separately and have the user save it with the same path
and filename and the image will display.

I'm surprised that the image is transferred. I still think the problem is the HTML
but now that suggests a workaround: E-mail your MHTML file either as is
or as a MIME attachment. Then your user can save the file with any path and filename
revise the HTML if necessary to point to it and then be able to use the HTML
as designed.
As an alternative see what happens if you use File, Send, Page by E-mail.
That could allow your E-mail client to create an E-mail with the necessary
attachments and perhaps even allow the image(s) to be rendered from the
E-mail, not local files. Then that could be saved by the user as an .MHT
and rendered by IE as if it was originally not local. E.g. IE would be rendering
by using the cached reference that OE would create and having to use a copy
of it from the TIF instead. That would save your correspondent from either
having to save the file locally or modify your HTML.
Tip: it will probably be helpful for you to watch all the file creation and accessing
that has to happen by running FileMon (or ProcMon.)
Good luck
Robert
