Fixing Link in Email Signature

One of the links (Facebook) I use in my email signature gets corrupted when I send mail and is wrong on the recipient's end. How can I fix that? I've re-checked the link in Mail Preferences and it is the correct one. Thanks!

This seems to work, it prompts the user to allow their web browser/client to allow the action to proceed, but it does work: <a href="skype:SKYPENAME?add">SKYPENAME</a>
Just replace SKYPENAME with yours.
If editing in Word, or similar, the link you want to add is just skype:SKYPENAME?add the above is the actual HTML that makes it work.
CORRECTION: only works in html, but Gmail strips it out by the looks of it, which is disappointing!

Links on email signature

I forgot how to add a link to my website to my email signature.

It would be best if you used HTML to guarantee the conversion to a link. The auto conversion actually depends on the program viewing the email message, I believe. So, to make an HTML signature, see this hint: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050706181449478

HTML, images, links in email signatures

I am trying to add hyperlinks to website addresses inside my email signature.
I am also trying to add a Skype status button to my email signature. You can see the code it generates from this page:
http://www.skype.com/share/buttons/wizard.html
I have read older guides on how to create webarchives via BBEdit and Safari. I tried that but did not have success with the image showing up and the hyperlinks I added in did not work.
Is there an updated tutorial for editing signatures in html for Leopard?
I am using Mail 3.0

This is how I've found a way of doing:
Go to home/library/mail/signatures select all the files in there
Go to preferences in Mail and create a new signature
In the home/library/mail/signatures you will see a new file *.webarchive
Open your html signature with Safari
Go to File/Save as ... Save as over the new *.webarchive choosing webarchive for the format
Restart Apple mail if you need to
(for the images you will need to have them posted on a server)

Can you wrap an image with a link in an html email signature?

When I cite a remotely hosted image in an html signature, and try to make that image a link, the link is ignored and the just the image is shown.
e.g.:
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubiquia/146019678805381" target="_blank">
<img style=" position:absolute;
height:30px;
width:30px;
left:172px;
top:157.5px"
src="http://png.findicons.com/files/icons/2779/simple_icons/48/facebook_48_black.png" alt="ubiquia facebook" moz-do-not-send="true"
>
</a>

For each icon that you want to use in your email signature:
locate icon on internet webpage - right-click on the icon and select 'Save Image as'. Save the icon to your computer in a suitable file.
Then in Thunderbird
insert > Image
choose file - locate the saved icon on your computer
click on Link tab and enter the www etc webpage link info
click on OK to insert image with link.
Codewise, where you have the actual icon you would need something stating where the icon is located:
eg
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubiquia/146019678805381" target="_blank">
path to image saved on computer included in within <> </a>

Creating a linked image in your email signature

Since you cannot add a URL link to an image directly in the Prefs/Signature window, do the following:
1. Open a new message window. Paste (or drag & drop) any suitable image. Highlight it.
2. Go to Menu>Edit>Link>Add... and type or paste your URL link.
3. Go to Preferences>Signatures and copy & paste the new linked image, along with any other info.
4. Assign your new signature to your account(s).
In my case, my email signature includes a "View my profile on Linkedin" button that people click on to go there.

What is the best way to add multiple images with links into an email signature?

I created an email signature with five linked images by:
* creating new message
• attached the image
• adding link to the image
• copied new email signature
• under Preferences/Signature added the new signature
It all works, but some of the emails bounced back. When we removed the images, the email went through.
I tried putting all the images into Photoshop and making it all one image, used the slice tool to create a link for each image and brought that single image into the signature, but that didn't work as separate links.
Any suggestions?

Hi Bob.
So what I should have done on my PC for all my files is gone to the File menu and used the Package command which would have converted it into a file with the images in it so they wouldn't need to be relinked.
From now on I will only be working on Mac (I gave away my PC) but I'm sure I could use a friend's pc (or at a later point install Windows on my Mac). But to use the Package command on PC I need to actually have the images in the correct folder on the PC right?

IOS 7 Email Signature Issues

I have been experiencing issues with showing email signatures with images on my iOS 7 and 7.1 decices. I post this topic on the iPad section because the same issue is showing up on both my iPhone 5S and my iPad Mini 2. Since my iPad is less than 24 hours old I figure this is an issue with iOS 7 since both devices are showing the same error.
I have a work email signature which has some text and 8 images. I am trying to simply use the same signature that I use for my works webmail and Outlook. So according to my research I found that it is possible to add an HTML email signature on my iPhone and iPad which are both on iOS 7.1 currently but the same issue was with 7 up to now. So I read that for email signatures that have more than just text(images and HTML) you simply email that signature to your self and copy the email signature and then paste in with that specific emails signature section under Settings - Mail - Signature and then that specific email.
When I did this the signature was able to paste just fine and display as I wanted it and even correctly used HTML image and text links that I have in it.
I was then able to reply to work emails as well as compose them with the email signature working just fine. But when I either tried to compose or reply to a work email abut the 3rd or 4th time I would see the email signature text and text html links working but each image turned into a white box. I first closed out of the settings apps to see if it was a glitch and found out that this change happens for some reason. So I then have to repete my copy and past process to get the signature back to the way I had it again.
The same thing happens ever time after about 3 tries to see if the email signature is working or not.
So my question is how can I use my html email signature on my iPhone and iPad with iOS 7.1 so the images do not turn into white boxes and stay exactly like I paste them in the email signature field?
This gets very old copy and pasting that soon each time. Does anyone have a solution that would allow me to set up the email signature how I want by a copy and paste and when I send an email with the default mail app on iOS 7.1 the email signature stays as it should?
Here is a screenshot of my email signature before and after so you can see what I am talking about (I did blur personal data to protect me)

I tried the exact same steps as the original post which lead me down the path to search for a fix.
I wanted to have a separate signature for work and one for personal use. Each signature would display correctly in the signature setup. I found two interesting actions in troubelshooting:
If I created the signature in Settings while the mail app was open, I could create a new email with an image displayed correctly.
If I did the above, closed the mail app and reopened it; created a new email, the image would not display.
If I created the signature while the mail app was closed; and then opened and created a new email; the image would not display.
I initially created the signature in another program and emailed it to myself so that I could copy/paste the signature into the Settings field. After step one above; I found that I 'could' get the image to display if:
I went back to the original message I sent to myself; opened the message; created a new email from that screen (not forward or reply)
I could get the image to display also if I was in the folder of the email that contained the image in the signature.
Interesting that the mail app does not appear to be referrencing the image from the Signature settings although it does for the text and hyperlink. The mail app appears to be referencing the image locally from within the mail app cache? I'm not a developer, however, there is something within the program that the new message is able to reference from within to pull the image.

Email signature problem

When I try to send email 10.10.1 it works fine with no signature in the message. If I add a signature that contains an email address and website link the email is sent but no one ever receives it? Remove the signature and all is fine again. Comcast is my provider. This signature has worked fine until last Saturday when people stopped receiving my email even though they were sent and not stored in my outbox. Any ideas?

Hi
Have been using the email signature for a while now no problem in the following way:
"Kind regards
Doug Walker
Walker's Building Contractors".
However, it has now changed to all being on one line and I can't change it or understand how it has changed. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks
Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Are you seeing the new fancy webmail system or Classic Mail ?
When you're viewing the signature (Mail/Mail options/Signature), is it showing as Rich text or Plain text ?
May I assume that you've tried to alter it and re-add the carriage returns ?

How do i add a company logo to my email signature on my mac book pro

how do i add a company logo to my email signature on my mac book pro

I would like to know how to do this as well. All I'm able to do is add the link, but not the button. My colleague has done this on his Outlook on his HP. I'm not sure why this is so difficult!

Single email signature for multiple devices

Hi,
I want to use one email signature from my mac mail account - I want it to be the same from iPhone, iPad and desktop mac - ideally including my logo, phone number and website as a clickable link.
Is this possible because I'm really struggling.
Thanks in advance!

You need an IMAP or Exchange account...not a configuration problem...type of mail account problem. Keeping things in Sync across multiple devices can't be done with a POP account.

How can i add a picture/logo in my email signature?

Hello. I need to add a logo in my signature. How can I do this? I tried to upload but just get a red cross...
Thank you

My guess is the problem with the square is being caused by incomplete or broken html in the Email Signature. I think the Signature panel doesn't know how to fix HTML. But the email app does... so this is why you copy a complete & pre-formatted email message: entirely.
I walked through the directions above, exactly, and it works with (in my case) even oversized JPG files in the signature.
By copy and pasting the whole message body, you'll retain the html formatting &, in my case, the image too. Running iOS 8.1 & it worked after a few tries.
Keep trying combinations... you'll get it.

Links in email no longer working under Yosemite

I have several email signatures which contain icons that link to websites, etc. However, since upgrading to Yosemite these links no longer function. I can use command-k to add/edit/remove the link, but they do not work. Can anyone make any suggestions?

If the iPad will not accept any input at all - try a reset. If this only occurs in the Xfinity email - something else is going on.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How do I add a hyperlink like Facbook to my email signature?

I am trying to change my email signature to add the icons for Facebook, Linkedin etc... How do I do that on my iMac with snow leopard?

You can speed up what a brody suggests by making a text clipping of the link. Type it in anything, such as TextEdit, then highlight it and drag it out of that doc and drop it on the desktop; move it to a convenient place. Then, whenever you want to use it in a new email message, make sure the insertion point is where you want it to appear and then drag the clipping into the message window and let go.

After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!
