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

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!

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?

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.

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.

How to create links in a signature

I've searched, and one topic came up.
I'd like to create a clickable link in my signature. I tried the solution posted in that one topic, however it didn't work. I'd like to know if there's a setting that I'm missing, because I constantly find myself having to go into the edit screen and click <Link - Add> instead of simply typing and having them appear as I type. Anyone have a solution to either issue?
The solution I've tried is adding a link in a normal email, then copy/paste into my signature. That didn't do anything.

that's the correct solution. It does work. if it didn't work for you you did something wrong. also, keep in mind that it won't appear as a link until you send the message. same for the other issue. if you simply type in a web address in email it will not look like a link while you are composing but will be converted into one when you send the message.

Links in Mail signature not working, please help me

I have created the signature in preferences + added the links
when I go to create a new message the signature is there and formatted BUT NO LINKS
do you know why this would be happening?

Hi There,
By default you can’t add links but there is a trick to it that can do just that:
Write a new email, add the urls in the new email as if its a signature.
Then select the text that you wish for it to be a link and go to Edit then Add Link.
Repeat that process for all your links then Copy and paste the manually created footer with links in the signature section under preferences...
Good Luck

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

Problems with Email Signature in Outlook

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to create an email signature for my office that can be viewed correctly in any browser/ email client/ platform. I'm currently designing/ coding on a Mac.
I created the design for it in Photoshop and then sliced it appropriately.
Saved it on a sever (PhotoBucket) so all the images are hosted.
Next I created a table in Dreamweaver and added each sliced image from the server into each appropriate table cell until it was formatted correctly.
Then I added in links to a majority of the images:
i.e. image links to company website, Facebook and twitter accounts; mailto links for the email address; and a "a href="tel:..." for the company phone numbers
Then I saved and opened it in Safari, copied it, and pasted into signatures.
Everything works great/ looks great as far as formatting and coding - essentially everything 'works' when I open it in Safari or Chrome etc. The problems start when I copy it into Outlook and send it out.
Problems I'm having:
1. When i send a blank email the signature looks good from my Mac Outlook. On some PC's Outlook the table is splitting up into individual cells and stacking on top of each other. On other PC's it looks fine.
2. The signature in the body of the email does not move along with newly typed text. Instead it overlaps and covers any text that is under it.
3. When I try testing by sending the signature to a Gmail account, the images come as individual attachments or individual links- a huge annoying mess.
Different things I have tried:
1. Using HotSpots instead of image links: although it shows up on Safari, the links to not work in Outlook.
2. Not hosting images, but instead linking directly from my Mac.
Is there anything I'm missing? Or is what I'm trying to do (Create an email signature that is functional and clickable) simply not possible?
I'd appreciate any advice!
Thank you

I think i'll stop you there. Email signatures do not require images and you should maybe think about having everything as text. You will no doubt be emailing people outside your company and lots of people don't have images turned on by default (hotmail, yahoo, outlook) so if you have any contact information in there, or your name, they won't see it!
At the most I would have a small image of the company logo next to your information in text, and all the social media links as text as well.

Exporting Email Signature

I am trying to export an email signature that I designed in InDesign to a JPEG format.
What's the best options to use to avoid the email signature going fuzzy when I put it into the signatures section in Microsoft Outlook?

If the signature is a mix of text and a logo, then it's probably better done as HTML with the logo in GIF format, preferably hosted and linked to in the HTML. This will prevent it being received as an attachment, which can be quite annoying for the recipient, especially after a few forwards when they only want a specific attachment. There's a trick to force Outlook into using the hosted image rather than producing an attachment, using the nosend="1" tag.
Except for maybe producing an initial visual, I wouldn't even involve InDesign.
Here's a guide to getting your HTML into Outlook:
http://mydesignpad.com/how-to-install-html-email-signature-for-microsoft-outlook-2010-wind ows/
Different mail clients' rendering of HTML can be pretty hit and miss, but as complete HTML novice, I found the sample HTML here to be a great basis that works well on all the clients I tried:
