Images in email signatures bug on Reply (Mail)

Hi,
I'm using Mail as email software.
I have some problems with email signatures, when I reply to these emails.
The signatures contained in these mails contain HTML images encoded via base_64.
If I forward the message, there's no problem with images included.
But if I reply to the message, images appear as encoded characters.
What's the problem? Do I have to change any setting ? Or do I have to adapt the image's encoding ?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Karl,
so you tried the IMG tag and it does not work for you?
For example
would in CDT view turn out like
Though one potential problem with this is that depending on the receiver's e-mail client it may block auto-download of external images.

Adding logo or image to email signature

I have added my logo (a jpeg image) to my email signature. When I send an email to someone else who is using an Apple mail program it opens up fine. However, when I send an email to someone who is using, for example, a yahoo mail account, the logo does not show up on the actual email, it shows as an attachment that must be clicked on to open.
Does anyone know how to embed an actual logo/image onto an email signature so that it will be seen in an email regardless of what type of email program they are using without having to click on it? thanks

Jessie,
I would love to help you (and anyone else in your situation), but it seems I can't duplicate your problem. I read your post before going to work this morning, and I sent myself an email (from Mail at home to Lotus Notes at work) with a signature containing a JPEG. Notes, arguable the worst email client out there, showed the JPEG in-line.
I don't have Outlook or Outlook Express, so I cannot test those, but I'd be happy to receive an email from you so I can see what comes across. You need to send it to my work email because that's the only place I have an email client other than Mail running. The address is dkiechle followed by an @-sign followed by amadeus.com.
We can do the opposite as well: I can try to send a test email to one of the addresses that you used to see if my signature shows up with the graphics element in-line. Would be pretty instructive, I think. I can do this if you provide an address; however, I can only do it in a few hours from home as I don't have Mail here at the office.
One interesting thing to check: in Mail, there's an option to "Always send Windows-friendly attachments". Can you check if it is enabled or disabled in your configuration of Mail?

Resize html image in email signature

Hi, I have been trying to insert my company logo in my email signature on Outlook Client 2013 but the results have been disappointing. Would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you in advance!
My company logo is in png-format. Its dimensions are 1221 x 374 px, and has a dpi of192. Its size is 37.9 KB.
I have read from various online sources that it is better to resize the image such that it is not larger than 10 KB.
However, I do not want to resize the image (to ideal width: 150 px) before inserting it in the signature editor, because doing that is bound to degrade the resolution of the image, no matter how good the photo editor is. I have tried gimp and various
photo editors, but the resulting picture quality is poor and grainy. I can barely make out the text in the logo.
These are the 4 methods that I have tried:
1. I followed this YouTube tutorial. I insert the image in signature editor. The location of the image is at my Desktop. Save and close.
I insert the signature in a new email. The resulting image is large and appears according to its original dimensions in my signature. So I resize the image in the inserted email signature, copy that resized image, then paste it in the signature
editor. The resized image will appear, with reduced dimensions. I save and close the signature editor.
Then, I insert the signature again in the email. The dimensions of the image are correct and they appear perfect. So I do a test by sending an email to myself. When I view the email on Outlook Client, the image looks perfect. However, on Outlook
Web App, the image is extremely large and out of place. I have been racking my brains on how to solve this problem.
2. Same as step 1. But instead of inserting the logo from my Desktop, I inserted the logo located on the web by typing its URL in full. I used: Insert > Link to File.
However, the same problem appears. The image in the send email looks great on Outlook Client, but too large on Outlook Web App.
3. Re-render the image to 96 dpi using IrfanView. I read from this source that Outlook will rescale any image that is not 96 dpi.
Tried Step 1 again. But image size in Outlook Web App is too large again.
4. I followed the steps in this link to create a HTML email signature. I used an online WYSIWYG HTML editor
to generate the HTML code. I realised that altering the height and width of the image in the html changes the size of the image only in the WYSIWYG editor. I believe that Outlook Client overrides all provided image dimensions.
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Joy,
Try this.
Compose the signature in Outlook, insert the original image, resize it to the correct size, by dragging the image using mouse.
Compress using inbuilt Outlook tool, this should not degrade the quality of the image much.
Click the picture or pictures that you want to change the resolution for.
Under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the
Adjust group, click Compress Pictures.
If you do not see the Picture Tools and Format tabs, make sure that you selected a picture. You may have to double-click the picture to select it and open the
Format tab.
To change the resolution for the selected pictures only and not all of the pictures in the document, select the
Apply only to this picture check box.
Under Target output, click the resolution that you want.
Now, copy all and create a new Signature out of this.
Send out an email with this new signature and see if it works on OWA.
Ensure you are checking it on the same PC and the Web browser is on 100% zoom level.
In my case its appearing slightly smaller on Browser then on PC. Check if its same on different PCs as well.

Satyajit

Email Signatures Missing From Reply and Forwarded Messages

Email signatures do not work for reply and forwarded emails. Signature work normally for emails I write.
I have 4 email accounts and 3 HTML signature identities. For each account I've enabled signatures for reply and forward in the Composition and Addressing menu option. I've tried restarting TB in safe mode by holding shift key. Nothing works. I cannot use signatures for any email accounts or identities for replies and forwards.
Help please. Something is broken. I have latest version of TB.

Anybody can help?

Adding an Image to Email Signature

I use Outlook Web Access. How do I embed an image in my email's signature?

Hi,
As far as I know, OWA doesn't include the ability to insert images into signatures.
However, you can create a signature that contains an image, provided the image is on a web server accessible from the Internet and you paste the rendered HTML into the signature. For more information, please refer:
http://www.slipstick.com/exchange/web-access/add-an-image-to-your-signature-in-owa/
Note: This method will not work if you have the S/MIME Control installed. Images will be sent as text links. Check in the Options, Email Security section.

TS3899 iOS email notification bug with exchange mail server

Hi,
Recently I noticed that my iPhone often plays new email notification sound but there is no new emails shown in notification centre and unread numbers on the email icon stays the same.
I have an email account set up and its connected to Microsoft exchange mail server, I have some sub-folders under my Inbox, I also have some rules set up to automatically move some non-impotrent emails to those sub folder.
Under fetch new data settings I choose push my inbox as default, but I didn't tick those sub-folders under my inbox.
Also under notification settings I have enabled everything for Mail app.
After some invistgation I found out that everytime this happens I have a new email in one of those sub-folders under my inbox, although it should only be updated manually..
Anyone have any Idea on how to prevent this from happening??

While this is only a guess, I suppose that you have these rules set up at the server. The mail hits the inbox, and then is filtered to the sub-folder. I'm guessing that your notification comes from the mail arriving at the inbox, but before it is counted there, it has been moved to the sub-folder. Your opening mail allows the folder to get populated on the phone. I'm not sure if there is a cure for that, and again, that is pure conjecture on my part. Better than anything anyone else has posted.

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.

Blue icon with question mark instead of image in email

Sometimes I get a blue icon with question mark instead of image in email, when viewing in Apple Mail Program.
Does anyone know why?????

I'm asking your thread get redirected to the proper forum. Please read this tip on how to post on Discussions for future threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1574700
Is this issue with Tiger or Leopard? Your profile indicates you have a machine with Tiger, yet your signature of your post says you have Leopard.
Also, there is no such thing as a Powerbook Pro. Read the text under the screen to tell us exactly which model you have. MacBook Pro is the name given to Macs that are for the pro lineup of notebooks once Apple shifted to the Intel CPU.

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.

Email Signatures With Pictures on iOS

Has anyone found a permanent solution to the issue of pasted images in Email Signatures on iOS turning into blank boxes? I'm able to successfully paste my email signature into the settings in iOS but after a few minutes, they turn into blank boxes.
From everything I have read, there doesn't seem to be a long-term solution to this. Anyone come across a fix for this?
Thanks

OK - on my iPad, in portrait mode, I do not see the colored areas beneath your menu, although I do see their content. In landscape I do see the colored areas. Then I see the original logo in both portrait and landscape, I miss the next two images, then I see the next, larger image, and finally I miss the last two.
Is there a CMYK issue with PNG images? Anyhow, under any circumstances, you should reduce the physical dimensions of ALL those images (and hence their weight). They are much too large.

My image in my email signature in Mail is resizing and becomes a lot smaller. According to the Graphic Designer, it's a Mail problem? Help!

I have a business account and use a signature in Mail. Currently I copy and paste the words from a .docx and then copy and paste the image into the signature. I've just changed my picture and at first when I started typing an email and hit 'enter' the image would resize to smaller (about half the size). Some test emails to a bigpond email showed that the picture was showing up as an X.
I readded the picture and in the signature in Preferences, it seemed the right size. But when I send a test email, the image is back to being small again.
This is really frustrating me - I hope someone can help!

check that pictures in mail are of actual size

I added an image as a signature which works great if a compose a email, however, the image signature is not added when I reply to an email?

I've added a image as a signature when a set up my email account. This image is successfully added when I compose a new email. When I reply to an email, the image is not added and I have to copy it manually from a newly composed email. I assumed that there should be a way around this?

Goto Account Settings and look under the section Composition & Addressing. There are two tick boxes for including signatures in replies and forwards.

Is this a bug of Outlook 2007 about images displaying in signature?

I've done many tests and researched on website or MS KB. But still got no solution.
My issue is:
I make a signature with images linking from website which can be easily accessed.
I setup this signature in Outlook 2007, when I compose a new mail, and choose the signature I set. It won't show the images with a high percentage rate, meanwhile, I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...",
Outlook2007 gets stuck, then you can not close Outlook or open Internet Explorer unless you kill the process of OUTLOOK.exe.
1. Test are done under a clean XP system and Office 2007 standard fresh installed. Also there are some other staffs who help me test the signature that report the same issue on Office 2007.
2. Images are rendered in 96dpi. They are all in very small size stored on website, can be easily accessed without network connctivity problem.
3. The signature is made by simple HTML language not by Outlook signature setup wizard. but in this case, you can ignore which method I use to create the signature. The images in signature can be displayed well in Outlook 2003 &
2010. Also I have tried insert images using "link to file" in Outlook signature setup wizard, got same issue.
4. Don't suggest me to store the images locally. These images should be updated after a period. You can not ask the company staffs to update these images manually by themselves. and even if the images are stored locally, the images won't be shown
in Outlook 2007 with a high percentage rate.
5. I've tried setup signature with or without an account profile, got same issue.
6. I 've tried without an accout profile, just copy the signature file to Outlook signature folder, unplug the network cable, and "new mail" then load the signature, of course, the images won't be shown because network connection doesn't exist,
and then when I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...", the Outlook interface also gets stuck. So I think Outlook 2007 may have some problem on detecting the network connectivity.
7. It is not possible to upgrate the version of Office. Since Office 2007 isn't out of date and is powerful enough for us, no one want to pay more money just to avoid this issue.
I don't know why I cannot upload a screenshot for troubleshooting. If needed. I can send a mail with screenshot attached.
So far to now, I still get no solution, I think this is a bug of Outlook 2007, because the same signature, there is no problem on Outlook 2003 & 2010. Hope someone of MS staff can see this article and report to technical support center.
I would appriciate anyone's kindly help but please consider that you understand what I am talking about. I don't want to waste time for each of us.
thanks in advanced.

What kind of problem about the display image in signature?
How do you add the image into the message body when you send the message?
Does it show correct through Web-based access?

Thanks for your reply, I know that some Style Elements won't be supported in Outlook, but this is not the reason.
Please refer to my post previously, I post it but get no response.

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)
