Mail: signature, logo, attachments problem.

Hi,
my company moved to macs half year ago and we still have problems with mail. Anyway, we will try to solve this problem, maybe changing to other mail client. I will appreciate all suggestions. This is what we want:
/----company logo.jpg----/
text message.
/----text signature----/
attachments
We want this signature to be universal for the most popular mail clients (Mac mail, outlook express, thunderbird). Everytime we send e-mail messages with signature like this, everything goes to attachments. When we were working with Outlook express, everything was fine, so I hope we can make it in mac mail too.
Best regards,
Tomas

You really cannot do this. It is not so much a Mail problem. You are wanting to send a jpg in the signature block. You have no control over what the recipient will see. Even if the image shows up, it will also show that there is an attachment.
In my day job, I use Entourage on a MPB.
You send email to me. I get it and there is the logo in he signature block. It will display nicely, but I will also see there is an attachment. (This is not Mail.app's fault, it is how it is done.) I reply to you. The reply has your signature block in it if I include what I am replying to. You reply to my reply. Now there are two signature blocks and two attachments. Ans so on.'
Logos are good on web sites and on paper correspondence. I wish I could convince you to not do this. And don't use "stationery" on email either.
Again, it is not a Mail problem, per se. And you have no idea what the recipient will and will not be able to see.

TS3276 Mail signature issues / attachments

I can setup Mail to use embedded or "attached" attachments, but when I attach files (my preference for business use) my signature becomes an attachment - is there a fix for this?

To have Apple see your comments, you should repost them at
http://www.apple.com/feedback
This may help if you decide to go the html route yourself

Just moved my email from entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly. When adding in a small company logo, windows computers only receive signature as an attachment. Am sending email as Rich Text. Any ideas on a fix

Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

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

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.

Apple logo as mail signature

Hi,
I am using apple iphone 4, could you please tell me what is the possibility
1.)to add apple logo in mail signature while mailing from my iphone.
2.)how can I add the logo in the facebook updates?
3.) How can I see the downloaded songs in the iphone, please give me the key ways
4.) I am not able to attach pdf and word files to the mails while mailing from iphone, why?

Questions 1 and 2): Use of the Apple logo as you propose would almost certainly be a violation of Apple's copyright. See:
http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html
3) I don't know what you mean. The only place you can see songs purchased from the iTunes Store is in the Music app. If you are having problems, please post back with full details.
4) That's not the way it works in iOS. You open the document you wish to send in an app that offers the ability to email; you don't attach it to an email message in the Mail app (except for a photo or video). GoodReader, for instance, can email PDFs or Word documents.
Regards.

Mountain Lion problems with Mail Signatures, Pages, Numbers, Keynote - This quick fix solved all my problems with these. Pages etc wouldn't launch and needed to be force quitted. Mail signature changes wouldn't save.

The solution was simple in my case. I don't know why it worked and it may have been entirely coincidental but its worth a try.
Close all applications and restart Mountain Lion.
Log in as Guest. I opened Pages at this point but I don't know if that's required.
Log out and then back in as your normal user.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote now were fine for me and Mail signature changes were saved and available for later use.
For those trying to edit the signatures to get their old ones back - I just found an old sent mail and copied the signature there into the newly created one via the normal preferences. No need for opening .mailsignature files and editing them. This included various colours, sizes, an image and a link with no problems.
I hope this helps anyone having some of these problems.

How can I use InDesign Logo in word or e-mail signature?

Hello there
I'm guessing this is easy for some of you, but all these things are new to me and so seem difficult.
A friend of mine has created a logo for my publishing company Lapwing Books - great! The book is finished - great!
But I want to use the logo as an e-mail signature and in word for stationary etc.
How do I do that?
I tried simple copy and paste, which didnt work. And I've had a route around but can't work it out.
Any help greatly appreciated
Richard W Hardwick

I'm sure there's plenty of ways. But the quickest would be to select the Logo.
File>Export and select JPG and then make sure "Selection" is active.
Then insert the image into your email. Google the name of your email application and "insert image signature", e.g., "Outlook insert image signature"

Mail signature saving problems

Hi! My mail signature changes are not being saved? This just started happening... I have Lion. Please help. Thx!

I was having the same problem - some accts would lose the signatures when Mail would quit, some wouldn't. I have 8 POP accts and 1 IMAP, and 11 signatures.
The thread Austin Kinsella1 suggested above was very helpful, specifically this suggestion from Zyfrog:
" Re: Can a "signature" disappear?
in response to: socalm
Basically:
Go to Mail Preferences -> Accounts -> Advanced and uncheck "Enable this Account". Exit the preference dialog so it saves the changes, then go back and re-enable the account.
Do this for each account whose signature is broken. "
I found that only forcing the preference pane to Save was not enough - as Zyfrog says, I had to close the preference window for the change to set. I even quit and restarted Mail in between each account I updated (I had 5 that would randomly reset to 0 signatures each time Mail was quit). I found it also helpful to have the Activity window open (Window>Activity Viewer) during this, so I could wait until Mail was done syncing before I quit it each time.
Seems to be working perfectly now! Thanks all, for your assistance - this was one of those super annoying little glitches.

MACBook Pro mail signature with logo

Any idea how to get the apple logo on a mail signature on my macbook pro? I cannot seem to do this!!

You can use the Mail app to add a signature and logo to any of your accounts.
Web based email can't use signatures at this time.
Google for instructions and the stuff you'll need to create a signature.

Attachments problems with eudora mailbox imported to apple mail.

greetings,
i am considering moving from eudora to apple mail. i've done a test of importing one of the eudora mailboxes and am having a problem with the attachments.
the attachments to the messages in the eudora mailbox appear to be recognized by the apple mailtool. however, apple will not display the attachments. my test is with a mailbox i keep messages from a friend who travels a lot and sends me jpegs of his trips. the import gave no error messages.
after the import, i can see all the message are in the new mailbox. i can open them fine. however, when viewing messages in apple mail that had attachments, mail shows the message and also shows a list of the pics attached, but it doesn't display the jpgs.
"This message has the following attachments:
.../Library/Mail/Attachments/xxx.jpg, etc..."
i can go to the attachment directory and find the jpegs there. they open fine in preview... but there seems to be no way to view or double click the filename to open it.
i've searched the local help and this forum and haven't found this thread yet...
does anyone have any experience with importing email with attachments?
is there some setting i need to change in mail to display the attachments or open them?
i appreciate any suggestions or pointers to the solution if somewhere on web...
jeffery-

ok, i think i found something that fixes this problem...
Eudora Mailbox Cleaner
i found it on: http://www.hawkwings.net/plugins.htm
this software seems to bypass apple's "import" and does it's own method of getting the mail files into apple's mailtool... in addition to allowing apple's mail to display the attachments (jpgs, pdfs, etc) this also looks like it preserved the message status... the read messages are marked "read" instead of "unread" also...
i wonder if there is a way to transfer them back, if i decide to go back to eudora after trying apple's mail... my next quest... i will be very flexible to try apple's mail if it is not a 1 way journey, since i'm looking for some solutions in apple's mail... thanks for reading-

Mail signature problems

How come when I purchase the 5, my mail signature now has a line in front of it, as if its been forwarded? It never did that in any of the other operating systems... How can I fix that?
I don't want to have to type my signature every time, but it looks unprofessional with the line in front of each line...

I do know the line you're talking about.
My signature on my iPhone 5 does not have this line.
So my recommendation is that you go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature and clear out whatever you have there and enter it again.

How do I change line spacing in a Mail signature? Where's the formatting menu?

I want to reduce double-spacing in my Mail signature to single spacing so it's more compact and doesn't take up all kinds of vertical space (more than the email itself--I've had recipients complain about this--and it's a business email). I have a logo (.png) in the signature that I've been using with no problem. I have text above and below the logo. It's just too widely spaced. Surely there must be a formatting menu that I can use to shrink the line spacing in Mail Signatures? Or elsewhere, then reimport and have the formatting stick? This is a pretty basic feature for an email client to offer. Is there a simple solution to this?

Since it's a windoze app, ask at http://answers.microsoft.com/

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

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.

How can I create an HTML Mail signature?

I've spent the evening searching for a way to create an HTML Mail signature with no luck. My problem is that when I create a new signature in Mail and close mail I try the following:
1. Create an HTML signature in Dreamweaver CS6
2. Open it in Safari & save it as a .webarchive to the desktop & close Safari & Dreamweaver
3. Open the signature folder (through Finder) and copy the Mail generated name (.mailsignature or it could be .signaturemail - can't remember) & delete the file
4. Click on the .webarchive and replace the name with the .mailsignature
5. Copy the new .mailsignature file & paste it to the signature file
6. Open mail and try to use the signature
7. NOT WORKING
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS!
PS I use iCloud if that makes any difference.

This tutorial is great!
