Image in html signature doesn't appear

I've tried this tutorial to put together an html signature including images.
http://allforces.com/2006/04/14/css-signatures/
As you can see at Step 6, the image shows when the signature is selected. When I compose an email however, I always get a 'blue question mark icon' as if the link to the image can't be found. I'm using images which are online, saved the html file as a webarchive file in safari etc. When I send the email anyway to for example my gmail address, the signature is ok and the image shows in the signature.
Why does the image doesn't show when I am writing the email and include the signature? Why do I get a blue question mark icon when writing the email? Perhaps I should point out that we're using IMAP should that matter.
The image should appear as it does in Step 6 in that tutorial. What could be wrong?

Hi there,
I had a similar problem with my .mac (mobileme) mail account. Followed basically same approach: I created the html signature in TextEdit and saved as a webarchive when opened in Safari. Then renamed it to have same name as existing non-html signature file in Home > Library > Signatures
(So, for those who are new to this, it basically replaces the one your mac created when you create a signature within Mail Prefs > Signatures; but even though you replace it, it needs to have the same name so it knows which mail account it applies to; I have 4 mail accounts in my program, with 4 sigs I created via the Prefs, so there were 4 of those sig files in Library).
Then I uploaded the image to an external server. Made sure I reselected the signature in the middle pane of the Prefs > Signatures area and dragged it over to the mail account.
Composed mail using .mac account, new signature DID appear (but it doesn't when looking at Prefs > Sig pane; that shows the ? mark because it doesn't go get the image at the external server, I guess). *Problem: when I sent mail as a test, it wouldn't show up in the mail that I sent.*
I just figured that Apple was stripping out the html sig. But today I tested again and it's there.
Somewhere in this thread, one of the guys mentioned giving it some time. That seems to have worked for me.
Just wanted to share because more and more people are starting to add html sigs.
(P.S. Also created these html sigs for my other, non-mobileme mail accounts and they appeared in the sent mail as soon as I sent the mail. No delay.)

How do I remove the 2 dashed lines (dashes) from above my html signature (from file) appearing in new mail I write?

I have saved an HTML signature to file (as per Mozilla instruction).
When I write new mail the signature is present but it is preceded by 2 dashes.
I have no idea why and would like to have them removed please.

You are refering to the signature delimiter.
'''what does the delimiter do?'''
http://www.ehow.com/info_12071771_email-signature-delimiter.html
If the signature is placed directly after the reply and on top of the quote, it lacks the "-- " signature separator. That separator is used by Thunderbird to strip off the old signature when replying or changing identities. The signature becomes part of the message and can no longer be automatically removed (since it can't be identified using the seperator), causing a stacked signature
''' To switch it off for all identities of your accounts:'''
Tools > Options > Advanced> General tab
or
menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced> General tab
* click on 'Config editor' button
it will tell you to be careful :)
* in top search type: separator
* look for this line: mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator; false
* Double click to toggle 'false' to 'true' or right click on line and select 'Toggle'
* Close config editor - top right X
* click on OK to save changes in Options.

3. I followed the instructions of this video to post it in gmail How to Create a HTML Email in Gmail - YouTube

You could copy the images link from the pages code and link it to your html email:

I would just upload the images to YOUR server in a folder and link the images in the html email to those.

HTML Signature Help In Mail

I have created an HTML signature via the methods posted in many places on the internet (Create HTML, Open in Safari, Save as .webarchive, Replace signature file in ~Library/Mail/Signatures folder, Reopen Mail, etc.) and I am still having an issue.
My HTML file works fine in Safari and looks how I want. When I compose a new email, the HTML signature shows up in the message exactly how I'd like. However, when I send the message, the HTML signature no longer appears. It's missing from the message in the Sent Folder and it does not show up as anything in the sender's email program. They don't get a box with a question mark in it, they just don't get anything as a signature. I've sent it to people (and myself) who use Mail, Hotmail, Gmail, and Outlook and the HTML signature doesn't show up on any of them.
Anyone know why it looks great during the composition of the email but just isn't getting sent out?

I've selected that new signature to be used in my emails, and it shows up when I compose a new email. It just doesn't appear when the email is sent, nor is it in the message when you open in from the Sent Folder. Somewhere after hitting "Send Message" it disappears.

Hi ssanjay.brillio,
According to your description, you'd like to send a email with an embedded image in the signature.
I suggest you sending the image in the last of the body of email instead of operating the signature of email.
The following example codes demonstrate how to send email using ImportHtml method with embedded images.
SmtpMail oMail = new SmtpMail("TryIt");
SmtpClient oSmtp = new SmtpClient();
// Set sender email address, please change it to yours
oMail.From = "[email protected]";
// Set recipient email address, please change it to yours
oMail.To = "[email protected]";
// Set email subject
oMail.Subject = "test HTML email with embedded image";
// Your SMTP server address
SmtpServer oServer = new SmtpServer("smtp.emailarchitect.net");
// User and password for ESMTP authentication, if your server doesn't require
// User authentication, please remove the following codes.
oServer.User = "[email protected]";
oServer.Password = "testpassword";
// If your smtp server requires SSL/TLS connection, please add this line
// oServer.ConnectType = SmtpConnectType.ConnectSSLAuto
try {
// Import html body and also import linked image as embedded images.
// 'test.gif is in c:\\my picture
oMail.ImportHtml("<html><body>test <img src=\"test.gif\"> importhtml</body></html>", "c:\\my picture", ImportHtmlBodyOptions.ImportLocalPictures | ImportHtmlBodyOptions.ImportCss);
Console.WriteLine("start to send email with embedded image ...");
oSmtp.SendMail(oServer, oMail);
Console.WriteLine("email was sent successfully!");
} catch (Exception ep) {
Console.WriteLine("failed to send email with the following error:");
Console.WriteLine(ep.Message);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Old html signature keeps appearing

Hi,
I created an html signature for my mail account. It has worked fine. Very simple. Just a link to an image (png) on my server.
The thing is, yesterday I altered the image slightly, saved, uploaded to server (overwrote the original), created the new webarchive, replaced the existing webarchive file in the Home--> Library --> Mail --> Sig folder. Renamed new webarchive file to match previous. When I compose new mail, the old signature appears. This happens even though it doesn't exist anymore in the Sig folder. And the image doesn't exist anymore on my server.
So, I decided to trash everything and start again. In Mail prefs, created the default sig in order to generate/establish the file in the Sig folder. Then created the html doc (with correct link to png file on my server), opened in Safari, saved as webarchive to my desktop. Opened that webarchive just to check that the sig appeared correctly. It did. Then, replaced the existing webarchive file (showing default sig created 5 minutes earlier within Mail Prefs) with this new one. Renamed it with the just replaced file's name. Dragged the sig from the middle pane of the Prefs window over to the account I wanted it for, opened new message window. And . . . .
The OLD signature (the previous image, that is, that I overwrote on my server) still keeps appearing! But as with the first example above, it doesn't exist anywhere!
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what to do about it? Is it just some lag on cached images maybe? It's gone on for a day or two.
One other thing I noticed completely by accident: I open a new message window, the old sig appears. I move cursor to the drop down menu above the window to the right to check the signature selected. It's the right one. I click to select it again (even though it's already selected) and then the newer sig appears, replacing the older one. However, when I send the email to myself, no sig appears in the mail I receive.
Go figure! But again, any thoughts?
Many thanks.

1. Sign out of old ID
2. Reboot
3. Sign in with new ID

Image not rendering for html signature

I've created a CSS signature for my Mail signature (found at http://allforces.com/2006/04/14/css-signatures/) But no matter what I do the image (my logo) won't appear in the message. it's as if it can't find it on the machine. But when I open the file in Safari to create a webarchive, the image is rendering there. But when I save that webarchive and replace the signature file the image doesn't appear in the signature.
Anyone have any ideas?

ok I tried the instructions in that link and you are right, it is broken but it worked for me in one situation. If I create an html file using locally stored images and then convert it to a signature as outlined in this link it shows up correctly in the signature window in Mail prefs but the images don't show inside the message when i actually try to use the signature. Bummer.
However, when I made an html file using images stored remotely on a webserver, the effect was the opposite! The pictures didn't show in Mail prefs but they did work correctly in Mail composition window and on the recepient end. Very weird and certainly a bug but it's a semi workaround I guess.

Local HTML signature images invisible after a while

Image as drop-down text link -- image doesn't appear

(Using Robohelp X5)
Wondering if anybody has had anything like this happen before
and can explain it for me???
First line of topic is type <h1>. At the end of the
line I have an icon that is a link to drop-down text.
Here's where it gets weird. I compiled the help and displayed
the .chm. Looked at the topic, the image doesn't appear, but is
clickable (and works properly). Used the 'print' option from the
.chm to print to .pdf. The image appears in the .pdf.
Looked at the code, can't see anything wrong with it.
Back in the wysiwyg editor, selected the last character of
normal text plus the clickable icon, copied and pasted in place (so
now have
<text2><dropdown2><text><dropdown>)
Removed <text><dropdown> (the original content),
edited the code to use the proper 'name' attribute (because it was
modified on the paste), recompiled, ran the .chm, everything
displays properly (the image is there).
Note: I was having similar problems with it earlier, think I
fixed it the same way, and everything was okay for a few compiles,
then started having the problems again.
At this point, as far as I can see, the .html is the *same*
as it was before, but now the image appears in the .chm. Colour me
totally confused :-)
Anybody have any insights as to why this could be happening?
Thanks!

Change what you have now:

    color: #4E8E98;

HTML signature appears different in email body

I attached an HTML signature in the Thunderbird preferences but it appears different when I send an email to myself. I understand that formatting can change between different email clients but I assumed it would appear the same in Thunderbird mail as it does in the settings. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for your response! The signature was created in Word and is basic with no graphics. I exported the file from Word as HTML then used the select HTML file option for signature in Thunderbird settings. I also have copy and pasted the raw code. Either way it looks correct in the preview in settings but the font doesn't stay when I send an email to myself and receive within Thunderbird. Perhaps the preview will show any HTML correctly even if Thunderbird can't receive it that way? Thanks again!

The graphic HTML signature panel does not appear in my Mac mail

The graphic HTML signature panel does not appear in my Mac mail. I have inserted the signature after reading on the forum. But the images do not download - the rest of the text in the signature is in place - just the logo and the baseline which is a graphic file does not download. Please help.

Hi, are the pics at a remote location, or on your Mac?
Have you tried drag & dropping the graphics on the signature window?

Why do image links in my HTML signature get turned into inline images?

I have written a program to create HTML signature files for email programs at my workplace.
The signature file uses URLs to images hosted on a server. This appears to work fine, but I've noticed that when I send an email from Icedove (Thunderbird rebadged for Debian), the image links automatically get turned into attachments. These are then visible as base64-encoded MIME blocks in the email source.
I cannot find any option for altering this behaviour anywhere in the application, even in the Config Editor.
Can anybody advise me how to change this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
I am running Icedove v.17 for Debian 64 bit.

By default Thunderbird attaches all images, even if the <img> element points to a remote resource. Most e-mail clients block remote content these days unless the user authorizes it (see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991448 this thread] for an in-depth discussion) due to potential privacy/tracking issues. Thus, the image your are adding as a remote resource may not display the first time the recipient opens the message.
If you want to change your code respectively anyway, have a look at [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_complex_mails_with_inline_images#Remote_images this article]. You'll have to add an attribute <img '''moz-do-not-send="true"'''> to the element which will Tell Thunderbird to ''not'' download the image from the server and embedding it into the message on sending.

HTML Signature Problem - Images not showing

Hi all,
I've got some HTML signatures that I use in Mail (v4.3) on Snow Leopard (10.6.4). They were created quite a while ago and have been working fine. BUT... I need to update them to change some of the information. So, I went through the usual rigamarole:
- Edit the HTML file
- Open the HTML file in Safari (v5.0.2)
- Save the file as a webarchive from Safari
- Find the appropriate file in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder
- Replace the file with the new webarchive (renamed)
When I do this, now, Mail will not show the image that I have in the signature (which is a background image placed in the file using CSS and referenced as a URL from my web server).
Does anyone know why the old signature (created the same way, but using an old version of Mail & Safari) works... but doing it all over again using the current version doesn't?
Thanks!

Anything you paste in the HTML is your responsibility. iWeb doesn't care about it. If it doesn't work, too bad.
Perhaps Posterous doesn't like to be displayed.
Ask them.
And instead of pasting garbage (not pretty stock standard) you may want to consider using proper code :
<iframe src="http://hamptoncycles.posterous.com/" frameborder="0" width="900" height="1050" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe
You'll never now if that is the problem.

Pop-up menu - Arrow Image for submenu doesn't appear in DW/IE

Hello all,
I created a pop-up menu with submenus in Fireworks MX 2004
=> this is displayed fine in a preview in FW.
I then exported this image and html files to a subdir within
my website. I then used the following to insert it into my template
file:
Insert => Image => Fireworks HTML => selected the
html file exported in FW.
My problem is, when I try to preview the page in IE (via DW
MX 2004), the pop-up menu and submenus are all ok....BUT...
the small arrow (image) to link between the First menu level
and the second submenu doesn't appear -> instead the generic
image appears (as in file not found). Looking at the code on the
template page, the file is "arrows.gif" and the path looks ok in
the file.
Note that MM_menu.js and the arrows.gif and all other
exported files (from FW) are in the same directory.
mm_menu_0510135640_0.childMenuIcon="../images/photogallery/arrows.gif";
It seems as though the path for the arrows.gif isn't right -
any ideas where?
Thanks & Regards,
SM

If you are going to use these menus, you need to know
something about them.
