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!

Mail Window Size Keeps Changing

I've had this erratic bug ever since upgrading to snow leopard:
I generally keep mail open, and just have the window closed, and let DockStar do some work in terms of notifications.
Problem is that my window size keeps on changing. When I click on the mail icon to open it up (I always resize to full screen), the mail program opens up in a very small window, probably about 500x600. Sometimes it opens in full screen as I want, other times it opens to this minimized view.
It is very hard to exactly reproduce, but happens probably 1/4 to 1/5 of the time at least.
The problem with this is that it also resizes the left panel so EVERY TIME I open it up, I have to resize both the window and the left bar panel.
I found a complaint that sounded similar that had the user remove the preference file, then recreate it, but this hasn't solved the problem.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?!?!

Here's something I've noticed:
1. When I uninstalled Dockstar, all problems went away. There's definitely something going on here.
2. When I reinstalled Dockstar, I am now only having problems with Mail remembering that one of my mailboxes is set to "organize by thread." (I had this problem before in addition to the window resizing). However, the window resizing problem seems to be gone (for today, at least).
Here's what's different:
1. I installed GrowlMail after they updated to a 64bit preference pane. (Not sure how this would impact it, but who knows...)
2. Last time, I just installed the newest copy of Dockstar over the old one. This time, I uninstalled the old one and reinstalled Dockstar cleanly.
Do you feel like verifying if this is true for you too?

Mail's column widths keep changing

I know similar topics have been posted, but most of them quickly digress to other issues. My issue is that column widths in mailboxes keep changing. This happens if I go from an Inbox folder to a Sent folder and back to the Inbox folder. It also happens after I do a search.
My Inbox mailbox columns are: flag, unread (which you have to have), attachments, from, subject, date received, date sent, size. The mailbox is sorted by date received.
If I change to a sent mailbox then go back to my Inbox, the date received column is much wider than I set it. If I do a search then go back to my Inbox, the attachments column is much wider and the date received and date sent columns have changed widths as well.
I seems as if this should be a fairly simple task for mail to save column widths for each mailbox. Other email programs do it? Why can't Mail?
G5 1.8 gHz SP Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail 2.0.7

Which mailboxes are we actually talking about here? Are individual account mailboxes that lose their viewing settings or are the Inbox, Sent, etc. aggregates that lose them? If the latter, that could mean there is something wrong with the preferences file, and I don't know of a way to try to fix the problem other than re-creating that file:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
You'll have to set up your non-Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it's enabled.

HT1430 Disappearing iOS mail signature images

Suddenly, over the last 3 or 4 days, my iPhone and iPad signature is missing the image.
I keep deleting the old signature and try to re-paste it, and it shows up for a short time, then disappears. My text still show up, but the image keep disappearing.
It's always worked fine before, but now I can't figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?

After much time messing around with this I figured out the issue. It is the way WinDoze (Outlook) formats the HTML E-Mail signature!
I tried publishing an HTML through many ways and it always lost the pictures and sometimes even the formatting. I knew I needed to get it into an Apple compatible format but could not figure out how, copying it just copies the text and leaves out the pictures so here is what I did!
1. Copy the entire signature from an existing E-Mail. (or create your own)
2. Paste it into TextEdit.
3. Save it as a RichText document.
4. Open the document and select the entire signature.
5. Open Mail and paste the signature into a new E-Mail.
6. Send it to yourself.
7. Open that Email on your iPhone. (or iPad) {I have not tried it on an iPad but I assume it will work the same}
8. Click on your signature and "Select All".
9. Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calenders>Signature.
10. Click on the account you want to use or use all accounts.
11. Paste the text into the box.
12. Shake your iPhone and click on "Undo Change Attributes". <--VERY important! (It updates the formatting when pasting)
13. Send an E-Mail and check out your awesome new signature!

Mail Signatures image resize

Howdy, tried to add a line of text to my existing logo and suddenly the logo image defaulted to half size!! I cannot enlarge the image once it is in the window. I deleted the Signature, tried to add again, even without text and as soon as I leave the current window it resizes automatically. It is not even legible. I went to reply to an email and add the signature but it is still in the default "small" capacity.
Should never have changed something that worked!!
any suggestions??

i found the solution of above problem using:http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee374/Diavonex/Album%201/8382c6f07759f0a1054 8d805748cb541.jpg and http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee374/Diavonex/Album%201/dc940a2708b59fbc029 81489d9712cf9.jpg

Mail reduces image size when forwarding!?

When I forward an email (I use Mail - v6.6 on 10.8.5) the image in the email becomes reduced from 556KB to 20KB which renders it unusable when received.
Can anyone tell me where settings are to stop this happening? I want to forward full size, full res images.
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

Found the answer! In Mail, at top right hand side of the message pane, there's a little drop down menu for 'Image Size'. Once you set it, it stays at that setting until you change it. It'll then stay at the setting you've changed it to until you decide to change it again. See images attached.
Let me know how if it works for you.

Dock size keeps changing?

I always set dock size the smallest. But it keeps changing so that it's slightly bigger than the smallest. Why is it changing all by itself?

I guess no one knows.

Cover flow window size keeps changing

As you can see to the images below, iTunes suddenly started to changing my cover flow size every time I restart it.

Mail signature image not appearing on PC

Hi.
I've been struggling getting my signature logo, sent from Apple mail, to appear to PC users in the message. It works fine with mac users as far as I know, but not for PC users.
What am I doing wrong? Its a image file, but only appears as an attachment when received by PC users.
Can anyone help me regarding this?
Thanks
MZ

My only suggestion would be to use Safari's File > Mail Contents of This Page. Obviously you'd need to first create an HTML page that is accessible via the internet which would contain your pre-fabricated signature line. Here is a sample:
http://www.progravix.com/emailsample/
Then you'd choose "Mail Contents of This Page" in Safari, and it will create an HTML email with that same signature line intact. What is cool about this is that the images within the email are not part of the actual email (attachments) rather being pulled from their remote location. This will only work if the recipient chooses to receive HTML email (but that would be the case regardless of how the email was composed, or by what client.

Mac Mail Signature Image Resolution-HELP!

I have a shiny new retina MBP...I created a signature for Mac Mail that looks crisp...until I created my first email. The image in the signature is now grainy! I read that Mac Mail doesn't play well with 300 dpi images. So, I have reduced it to 100 dpi and then 72...I have also used jpg, png, and tif files. All result in this grainy look.
Has anyone found a solution to get an image be retina compatible in the signature?
Thanks!

Definitely is your problem.
The image will not show up on anyone else's computer, but your own if it is fetched locally.
You should be able to paste the the image address in the browser and the image should render independent of Mail.
That is the nature of html mail, it reaches out to fetch the images in the mark-up.
addendum: if you do not have active server space available to host your image, there are many alternatives. Dropbox public file is one example. The public link can be copied and pasted into the html .mailsignature

Mac Mail Signature Image NOT showing up on recipient end

I am boggled, please help.
It's kind of a long story/process but I will try to sum up.
Basically, I needed to create an email signature for a client.
Their logo needed to be on the left side.
And their company information needed to be on the right side of the logo and centered.
Mac Mail ONLY lets me create the logo on top of the company information.
SO, I created it in Microsoft word.
Did some tests on the layout and finally was able to copy and paste from Word to my signature window in Mac Mail.
Voila! All looks grand.
When I create a new message and choose my new email signature, I CAN SEE THE IMAGE AND TYPE PERFECT.
When I do a test and send it to myself, the ONLY thing wrong is that the IMAGE IS NO LONGER THERE. ONLY AN OUTLINE OF WHERE IT SHOULD BE.
HOWEVER! When I forward the email, IT'S THERE!
What the heck?!
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I tested my icon with preview initially.
I saved the logo as a .png format.
Opened it preview.
Selected all, copied and pasted into my signature.
Although it shows up, it's way bigger.
Which I think is fine because I can adjust it, however, then I have to add the company address NEXT to the logo.
And MacMail does not allow this.
As soon as I begin typing, it just won't appear NEXT to the logo and centered, where I need it to be.
That's what had led me to creating it in word.
hmm

That's suspiciously like 'Boiler Plate Text'. Did you have to pay Station royalties? ;-) Actually, it is rather better than the version Ramon wheels out. I think I'll grab the link for my big page of ready forum responses. :-)
Possible reasons a window would change size
Ctrl or Alt Spacebar and left click drag (standard zoom feature)
or my best guess, he has Zoom with mouse wheel check in General preferences. This operates completely by itself, (no other key needed) so would be very easy to make happen unintentionally.

Page size keeps changing between pages based on browser zoom

I recently started designing a web page for a golf league. I designed my main page (index.html) and have it laid out all nice and neat with 9 divs (outer, wrapper, logo, social media, topnav, banner, content, rightside, footer). My main page has horizontal navigation links near the top of the page for 7 different pages (Home, Course, Events, History, Statistics, About, Contact). I created 6 blank html files for the other 6 pages and then created and applied the template from my main (Home) page to the other 6 pages.
All the pages are laid out perfectly and everything seems fine. However, when I view the web pages and use the zoom on my mouse (CTRL + Mousewheel), it only remembers the zoom level for the current page that I'm on. NOTE: FYI, I'm viewing all of these pages offline, which I assume might be the problem.
For example, if I'm on my main page and zoom in, then click the "Events" link, it switches to the Events page, but doesn't have the same zoom level. These zoom levels also seem to be saved (to my browser, not the dreamweaver code), because when I close the browser and reopen it to the web page, it remembers the previous zoom settings.
I just started building a web page a few days ago and don't have a published web page as I haven't selected a host yet, but plan to when I know how what exactly I need in terms of size. All the web pages I've been viewing are on my hard drive. Is that why the zoom is not consistent across all my pages? To clarify, if I zoom all the way in on my home page, then click "Events", the Events page won't necessarily be zoomed all the way in, it will be at the same zoom level as the last time I viewed it.
I just want to know if this issue will go away when I actually publish my page to the internet and view it on the web? If not, I'd like to tackle the problem now before I publish it because this site has to be professional since we're holding a big charity event in the fall with a major and well known charity and celebrity.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You're not using frames or framesets are you?
In which browsers are you testing your site?
My experience in Firefox, Chrome & IE9 is that Ctrl++ (zoom) remains constant until I change it.

Why does the character size keep changing to extreme small on the home page?

With the new Firefox downloaded the character type changes to extremely small print every time I go away from the home page. I then have to reset it to larger print. With old Firefox the print size remained as I set it all the time.

You didn't restore the device as new before you began using it. Do so now, and use your own Apple ID & password from now on.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
Then, in the Setup Assistant, use only your own information.
