I seem to have just experienced the same thing, but using my logo in  
invoice.tex

I had honestly disregarded Mr Van Ginneken's problem as "existing  
between keyboard & chair" however the problem seems to have  
inexplicably resolved itself for me, and I can only conclude that  
something glitchy may sometimes occur with the logo.

I have spent some time this morning paying attention to the full  
format of the .png file - for instance note that:
   $ file /usr/local/sql-ledger/templates/Service-logo.png
    /usr/local/sql-ledger/templates/Service-logo.png: PNG image data,  
220 x 138, 8-bit colormap, non-interlaced
   $ convert my_logo.eps foo.png
   $ file foo.png
   foo.png: PNG image data, 584 x 576, 16-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
   $ convert my_logo.eps -depth 8 foo.png
   $ file foo.png
   foo.png: PNG image data, 584 x 576, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
   $

However in frustration I copied back the original logo and it STILL!  
didn't work!!?! After making trivial edits in my invoice.tex the logo  
reappeared, only to remain there when I reverted those very same edits!!

When I copied back my_logo.png, suddenly it worked perfectly!!
So I am completely unable to explain why the image didn't work in the  
first place.

My permissions are the same as Ryan's, and I have changed them at no  
time.
I can't believe I have made some stupid mistake - even though that's  
the only logical explanation! - because I used my bash history to go  
back to the same `cp working.png /usr/local/sql-ledger/templates/ 
stroller/logo.png` each time. Likewise, I used up-arrow in bash to  
edit the `convert` command (ImageMagick), then `file` & `identify` to  
check the file format.

So my only suggestion to someone else experiencing this is to copy  
the original logo back and then try again from scratch. Maybe there's  
something in the email generation process that caches the logo?
