Not really, since the directory is created by webmail the first 
time it is run, but even subsequent runs show this error.

Hm, where would I find it? I'll have a look at the webmake homepage 
later...

It was indeed. But oddly, the error for this particular image went 
away after I fixed this typo and to be even worse: It didn't come 
back, when I changed it back! I don't understand this. But I have 
got plenty of others where it still happens.

[... busily checking everything, I hate it when I make a bug report 
and it then goes away and makes me look stupid! ...]

Now this is funny:

Apparently I get this error for images where I do NOT specify the 
${IMGSIZE} option! When I add it, it goes away and sometimes even 
does not come back when I remove it again! (maybe cached?)

Could it be, that html-cleaner tries to add the size on its own, 
when it is not specified and for some reason fails to find the 
picture in this case?

MfG :-)
