Images in mail signatures?

Is it possible to paste in a graphic (company logo) into the signature in Mail on Yosemite?
I tried and got a blocked plugin message. Not sure what kind of plug in it might be, but is there a file format (.png?) that is acceptable?

Yes, you should be able to drag a graphic into the signature pane of the Mail>Preferences window. I have done it successfully with a .png, but it should work with any image format.
However, what you can no longer do in Yosemite as you could in previous OS X versions is make the image link to a website. Nor can you align it in the center in this signature pane as you once could. You have to center the image in an actual e-mail template.
I am also experiencing another problem when I include an image and/or when I change the default signature text issued by the system: When I toggle between one mail account to the other in a e-mail template, the signature from one account does not go away when the other account comes up. There is some traffic about this on the Apple Forum. Several of us hope that this is something Apple will address in a Yosemite update.

Linked image in mail signature?

I'm trying to create a link between a logo in my e-mail signature and our website.
Somehow this doesn't seem to be an option in Apple Mail.
Who can help?
Thanks!

Hi again,
I can't think what I'm doing wrong... I upload the image - and I've tried this on our own webserver, imageshack, photobucket -, then copy the image location from the address bar en paste it into Sea Monkey for the image location... and broken link after broken link...
Isn't there another quicker fix for this issue?
<edit> ok i'm one step further. I've now got an image uploaded that actually shows up in Sea Monkey.
Now, for this to work, do the resulting html file and web archive also need to be on a remote computer???
No that's not necessary. those can be on your local computer. I think you are almost there. save the html file, open it in safari, save it as webarchive and substitute it for the webarchive with the dummy signature.

Images in Mail Signatures are squished

Has anyone experienced this issue? I have an image in my mail signature and it's squished down to a set size of about 100x100 pixels. Regardless of the image I use, it's always compressed down incorrectly after upgrading to leopard. This happens on more than one machine.
Is there any workaround?

I fixed my squished problem, but the recipients of my emails tell me that the signature looks blurry. I created it in Illustrator, saved fonts to outline and saved it in various file formats, jpg, png, gif. It always looks fine on mail that comes back to me or that I send to my self from another accounts.
Is there a guideline anyone can point me to that describes the resolutions, file formats and other settings to prevent this? My experiments haven't yielded any success.

Cannot include Logo Image in Mail Signature for Email

Hi
I am trying to simply include a small 3 kb GIF file
in my Mail signature for my professional Email Account
and the problem is:
1. When I drag and drop the GIF file into my Signature field,
it automatically scales it up like 100% and is huge, pixelated and blurry
2. For some reason, when I try this same thing in All Signature field,
it works fine
Problem is, I still cannot get my professional email account, the one I want
to have the GIF logo in, to have this image
Please help
thanks

How does one add hyperlinks to images in Mail signatures?

Greetings esteemed Mac boffins,
How do I add hyperlinks to images that I have added to signatures in Mac Mail?
There seems to be no option for it.
Regards,
Ryan

It's just not working for me. I can't figure it out.
As you can see in the screenshot, I have the icon selection and when I go to the "add link" menu item, it's greyed out.
I have provided 2 screenshots for reference.

Image in Mail Signatures

Hello.
I have some problems with my signatures on my iPhone and iPad.
I use several signatures on them and all of them have images attached to them. The problem is that after a short while the images stops working and only shows up as a small box where the images should be.
Question: How do I get the images to stay and not disappear after a while?

Check out the tutorial on css signatures at allforces.com.
I used the info to create my business signature which displays the same in mail.app, MS Outlook, GMail, Yahoo, etc. Great article.

How do you link an image within a Mail signature to a website?

I do link words to a website, but I can't find how to link images in Mail signatures to websites. Could anyone help? THX!

Hi drewdollar,
If you have Acrobat, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool on the Content Editing pane of the Tools panel. Just select Edit Text & Images, and then drag the image where you'd like it to appear on the page.
Best,

Image in Mail Mail signature is pixelated. How can this be fixed?

Hi there,
When I create a mail signature with image (72 dpi) in Mac Mail, the sent image looks very pixelated to the recipient. When I use a higher res image (150 dpi), it looks clear but then the image is huge to the recipient. To try and solve this issue, I have created an HTML signature and image looks fine, but since I have to impletment this across a large organization, having to go in and alter everyone's mail settings is not an option.
Does anybody know why this happens?
Many thanks!

If you are asking how, while creating a email message, can you switch from the current outgoing email email message and look up a previous email to reference a line to include in the outgoing email without having to "save as draft or cancel" and the go back to the email message I am creating, this is my problem too. If the is not what you meant, consider this a new topic as I did not find an answer without going 10 pages deep in "topics".
Thanks

Mail Signature: image size keeps changing to fit window

When adding a logo image to a signature in mail, the image is not remaining the same size, it changes in size semingly to fit the width of the window that the email happens to be in. Mostly the image is showing larger than the window itself. We are having this problem on imac (snow leopard) and brand new macbook pro (mountain lion). I have tried using PNG and JPEG files but both have the same problem. Older signatures (2 years old) show the image correctly keeping it the same size. Any advice muchly appreciated : )

I worked it out in the end - I had 2 things too big in my image settings; the canvas size (which was 14cm long!) and he DPI (which was 300dpi) I have since changed to approx 8cm long and 100DPI and it now displays the logo in the signature without increasing the size of it to fit the size of the window. My only issue now is trying to get the image to still show in the reply thread, so that when you look down the email conversation you can see the logo in each of the previous email signatures. This one is stumping me!

Can't images be included in Mail signatures?

Whether I paste or drag and drop a tiny (4k) graphic image into my Mail signature file, it displays in my mail document, but never reaches the recipient, displaying instead the familiar broken image icon.
And, why - when I click on the question mark help icon in Mail - is there NOTHING in the help file? Excuse me for saying so, but that's not very helpful, is it?

Hey, thanks, Mulder...
While that article was interesting, the method explained in it didn't work for me. But neither did any other method... UNTIL I deleted all other signatures that were in Mail AND deleted the Mail signatures plist file, quit Mail and then relaunched it. Having done so, I was finally able to include the graphic in my signature file by just pasting it in there (I couldn't understand why Apple software wouldn't allow a simple paste or drag and drop).
Thanks for your speedy reply. I appreciate it!

Image won't save in my e-mail signature

Hoping someone can help me, I have tried adding an image to my e-mail signature by going into mail preferences and then dragging and dropping and image into an existing mail signature that I have created previously.
The thing is, every time I close mail and open it back up again the image never is saved to my e-mail signature.
The account I have set-up is link hosted by GoDaddy with my own domain name.
I have 5 accounts set-up and each account has it's own assigned mail signature.
I don't know why the image won't save in my e-mail signature????

I am having this same issue. I am not using a pic or html. Its just Text. This is on my .ME Email Account.
