Graphic signature with Mail?

Im trying to apply a graphic for a signature so every mail has it attached with out having to paste it in every mail. I open the preferences and go to the signature tab and copy the giff graphic into the box and it appears on my email-the thing is not everyone can see it when they recieve the mail and it automatically changes the graphic to a Tiff file...why is this? Any help is much appreciatted. Thanks

Make sure you send 'Windows friendly' attachments.
Edit menu/Attachments- select windows friendly option.
That should help, but not always I have found.

  • Can i use an html signature with mail in SL?

    my company uses a standard html signature. is there a way that i can use it with mail app? how do i do that?

    you can create a signature in mail preferences->signatures. the editing tools there are very basic but if your company's signature is not too fancy you might be able to recreate it. if that's not good enough, the only way around that i know is a the following hack
    create a dummy signature in mail preferences->signatures. then go to the directory /users/username/library/mail/signatures and locate the webarchive with your signature. then make an html file using your favorite html editor. put whatever you need in it. save it and open it in safari. then save it as a webarchive from safari and overwrite the dummy signature you made with that webarchive.

  • Graphic Signatures in Mail

    I've seen this discussed, but not solved. How do you add a logo (graphic) to your signature in mail? Dragging it below your name does NOT send it EXCEPT as an attachment which is worthless.
    Surely Apple allows this!!??

    Anything that is not text in an email message must be sent as an attachment. This is not an Apple issue, it is an email issue. All email programs must follow email protocols. But email programs vary in how they display received attachments. Some, like Mail, will display them inline when they can, and it might not always be obvious that it is an attachment. Some other email programs will not show the content of an attachment. If your correspondents are using an application that does not display your logo the way you would like, there is nothing Apple can do about that.

  • How to install a graphic signature in Mail

    I've upgraded to Yosemite and want to use Mail 8. My email accounts are migrated, including one which is an app account. However, when I try to attach a signature that I've saved as a JPEG (Mail-Preferences-Signatures), it doesn't work. it works fine within Thunderbird, why doesn't it work in Mail 8? I so want it to. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Generate fortune signatures with mail

    hi again, i've already posted this in the "Mail & Address Book - Tiger" section but didn't get any feedback - the positive thing about that: nobody said that this is not possible
    i would be glad about a solution because i like mail and want to contiune useing it! (btw i am new to os x)
    so here comes the original question:
    hi, everyone!
    i want to add a random signature everytime i compose a new mail. this signature should be generated with the stdout put from the good old command line tool 'fortune'.
    i've already written an applescript that will do that but i don't want to execute the script everytime i want to write a new mail instead this should be done automatically evertime i hit compose mail.
    i didn't found a solution yet and when i search for 'random signature' they always come up with the functionality to choose a random signature of all available sigantures... a bad solution might be to create 1000 signatures
    have anyone of you an idea to realize that - with or without applescript?!
    thx
    PB-G4-12"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    as told i've already a script that does this... but i don't want to use a cronjob for execute this but the mail.app itself...
    this would be a much more elegant solution
    even the possiblity to read from files for a signature would be nicer...
    it disappoints me a bit that an app in version 3.0 can't do this (ok, 2.0, but i guess 3.0 can't either)
    thx

  • Using Signatures with Mail Version 4.6

    I have tried to automatically have my signatures added randomly to my emails but simply cannot find the way to do this. Surely there must be some indormation which I've yet to find. Thanks.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Mail.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Graphics Problems with Mail 4.1

    I am having two serious issues with the way Mail handles graphics in an enterprise (MS Exchange) environment, making it necessary to return to Entourage or Outlook for daily mail duty:
    1. If I use an inline graphic in my message, (which I have to do a lot in my work), any message text that follows the graphic within the message is converted to a plain text file called "ATT00001..txt". Instead of reading the message as I composed it, recipients must notice that they have to click on the attachment to continue reading (in a different application!) Ugh.
    2. Replying to messages strips out the graphics, replacing them with angle-bracketed references, (e.g., "<image-name.jpg>") When participating in a long mail conversation with graphics inline, having the images stripped out like this essentially destroys the context for everyone.
    These problems really work against Apple's credibility in an enterprise environment.
    Does anyone know how to fix these problems? I looked online and in help, and cannot find any solutions.

    This is, according to the Apple engineers, due to how the Exchange server handles messages with attachments. Their answer is to make sure that any attachment comes after any text. Exchange will break off any text it finds after the attachment to a separate attachment.

    I don't know of any automatic way to have attachments included in a reply, but here's how you do it for individual messages:
    Click Reply.
    Make sure you do not highlight text to quote only part of the message. If you do highlight and quote selectively, make sure the desired attachment is highlighted as well.
    Select Edit Menu - Attachments > Include Original Attachments in Reply

  • I want to add a graphic signature in mail that contains hyperlinks.  Can this be done?

    I've created an e mail footer/signature in Illustrator, chooped it up into slices, inserted slices into the signature window within Mail and have added links to some of these slices.
    But that's where things go wrong.  The slices are all over the show, and the hyperlinks do not work.  This also have to work accross Mac and PC platforms which is proving impossible and i'm just about at a loss.
    Has anyone done this before and have any tips as to how to achieve a professional looking e mail signature that can contain hyperlinks.
    THANKS

  • How can I save a screenshot as a jpg? I want to create a signature using a jpg in Thnderbird as you can't have graphics as signatures using Mail

    I am findinit difficult to rely on Mail so have used Thunderbird so that I can add screenshots and use different fonts in my email messages but iI now can't find a compatible programme to use to create jpgs from sreenshots which I used to be able to do with Irfanview and Photfiltre but i dont htink I can use these with a Mac. I have been told Xee is possible but will it do what I want and if so how?

    Not sure what you mean by not being able to use graphics as part of your signature in Mail. I use them all the time.
    Or are you referring to the recipients not being able to see the graphic when they receive the email?
    You need to set Mail's Composing preferences to use Rich Text rather than plain text:

  • Signatures with Graphics

    I don't see how this problem is solved. I too am trying to input a graphic into a signature with no end-user joy. Whilst it works fine with Mail, my clients mainly use Lotus Notes/Domino. I too have Notes 6.5 for Mac.
    The graphic does not display in the Windows / Mac versions of Notes, nor in MS apps. It works fine in Mail, but that is not what I need. Several of my Notes-based clients also use graphics in their signatures with no cross platform issues.
    Any thoughts?

    I tried various bogus URLs, but they tended to break things. The URL really does seem to matter--in Mail signatures at least. I think the crux of the issue is that, as you astutely observed, Mail converts the webarchive back to HTML, which means the in-lined images go bye-bye. So, unless the image is on a server accessible to the recipient, there's no way to include an image. If I were going to attempt anything further I think it would involve CSS formatting, with the image included as a background image, so it would degrade better in mail clients that don't display HTML.
    That seems to make the in-lined content rather pointless where mail signatures are concerned. Maybe Safari uses it under the right circumstances, but I haven't yet figured out what those conditions are. Even if I delete the WebResourceURL key and string entirely and dump the cache, Safari continues to look for the image at its last known location. It looks for the HTML file too, but at least it is able to render the HTML anyway, from the information contained in the data node, one would assume.
    So it looks like the webarchive file format really doesn't afford anything in the way of a solution for formatted mail signatures. I hate to say it, but I think the format Microsoft uses would be more appropriate for e-mail because it's essentially a multipart MIME message. Ironically, they only seem to use it as a web archive format for browsers, an application for which Apple's format seems more appropriate.
    The ideal solution would be some kind of standard for encoding presentation instructions in vcard files that mail clients could either support or not, so people could just attach their vcard, and the recipient could take whatever actions their mail client supports at their pleasure.

  • How do I add an email signature with graphic (logo)?

    On my iPhone 5 Im trying to add an email signature with logo to my email account.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • [Mail] Replacing a signature with a text in the plain text alternative..?

    Hi all.
    I just created a signature for Mail. All is good, I created it in HTML and adapted it accordingly. The issue is, I have my name on it in a sort of logotype so I'm not typing my name explicitly in any email. Now, if the application settings of the other party is set to display emails in plain text format, the plain text alternative of the email will naturally omit the signature thus my name.
    Is there any chance I can make it replace the signature with my name for the plain text version? I tried using the 'alt' attribute in the 'object', 'div' and 'img' tags, CDATA and some other tricks but no luck yet. Hope someone has an experience in this subject that has resulted in success...
    Thanks in advance.

    If you open a HTML document in a text editor (not TextEdit), you will see stuff like:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>Untitled</title>
    <meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 6.5.3" />
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    The part that you need to keep is just the anchor tag:
    It depends on how the document is saved, so if an application includes the headers (you can't really tell by just looking at the rendered document), you need to manually remove them. I use BBEdit to create a HTML file with just the anchor tag, so I don't have to worry about what an application is going to copy it as.

  • How to create a customised signature in mail(with picture)?

    Hey,
    I want to create a signature with a picture that I need to minimized like a logo.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Yeah, it was a cool idea. So I tried it. I took a picture of myself with the webcam and saw that it was 88k 640 X 480. I cropped it in Photoshop to 130 X 110 at 72 dpi, adjusted the color levels a bit, then saved for web. Final picture is under 3k and looks fine.
    Open Mail preferences, Signatures - Create a new signature file for an account and dragged the photo from the desktop into the window with my business signature.
    Done. My name, business name, and picture are automatically added to outgoing emails if I choose that signature file before sending the message.

  • Messages with Inline Graphics Locking Up Mail

    Yesterday everything was fine with Mail.  Today, any time I click on a message with inline graphics Mail freezes (rainbow cursor) and I have to force quit and come back.  The only way I've found to continue using mail is to avoid or quickly delete those messages.  The problem being, I need to forward one, and I can't forward it fast enough to avoid Mail freezing.
    I haven't seen anyone else with this issue (my third since upgrading, I must be lucky, I'm having problems no one else is!) so starting a new thread.

    One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
    Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
    Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
    Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
    So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
    Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.
