Different copies of cfchart in email

I create a cfchart/graph and save it as a jpg in a folder on the server, overriding previous ones with the same name.

I then create a cfmail and specifiy the location of the chart in the body of the email so that it displays when the email is opened. I use <img src="http"//......> with cfoutput.

The problem is that if there are many recipeints, they seem to get different vesions of the chart (differnet dates for the x axis) and I always get the correct one. I put myself on cc.

What could be causing this ? there is only one chart in the folder and it is always replaced. It is correct in the eamil becuase I get the correct one. Could it have something to do with the folder I have it stored in, since i have full access to the folder and the others only have read access. I even tried deleting the previous chart from the folder but that still did not work.

I cannot figure this one out. Any suggestions on why recipients are getting diffferent versions ?

    Maybe this is happening.

    Send mail with link to file on server
    Replace file on server with newer version
    Recipient reads mail.
