Mail Signature shows up as attachment in Leopard

In email my signature file (a PNG, GIF or JPG--tried them all) shows up as an attachment that must be clicked on to be viewed by those receiving my email using Outlook. Worked fine in Mac OS X10.4. How can I remedy this?

Hello SYL.
Jaguar and Panther Mail does not support HTML composition so you cannot embed a jpeg in the body of a message or with your signature.
Although the logo appears inline or viewed in place within the body of the message before being sent, depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, the logo may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened or as an attached file which must be opened separately (as with any other attached image or jpeg file) for which we have no control over.
If the recipient is a Mail.app user, the logo included with your signature will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened.
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML but you cannot compose complex HTML within the body of a message. Such a logo included with your signature will probably work as intended for all recipients when using Tiger Mail but I'm not sure.

Since updating to Firefox 6 my web mail signature for replies shows up as html code. Does not do this on other browsers or other versions of Firefox.

My web mail signature shows up like this:

It changed after updating Firefox. It is fine on other browsers or older versions of Firefox.

Thanks for your reply cor-el. I had never heard of nor seen the pref network.http.max-connections until I read about it in some of the replies in this support forum. People were saying 256 was the old setting and a new setting of 48 would correct my problem. When I followed the instructions to get to - see - and change the setting I discovered that my network.http.max-connections was already set to 48. I never did this. The only way I can think of that this setting was changed is that it happened by an automatic update to my Firefox browser. So, the problem I have was probably happening while this setting was at 48 all along. It is still set at 48 and I am still having the same problem. I will try as you suggest and set it to 30 and see what happens. I'll let you know the results. That's again for your response.

LOGO NOT APPEARING IN MAIL SIGNATURE

When I paste a logo in the signature of my mail, it shows as an attachment but does not show the logo... however only when i click it shows the logo..
whereas in windows pc I have used for long time, it shows a logo clearly so when my clients look at my signature they already get the logo near my signature
in MAC however, it shows as an attachment, and it will be left to the discretion of reader to see my logo or not!!
it is very disappointing to see this!
any one can provide me the guidance?

Mac Mail Signatures - Double Spaced?

Mac Mail Signatures show up as double spaced in GMail, but if I type out the same text it's fine. If I send to myself and look at it with Mobile Me's online viewer, it's fine too. What's the deal?

Carolyn: Thank you for the reply, however neither deselecting nor selecting that option has any effect on the location of the signature. In both cases it will appear at the end of the string of emails.
This is a time consuming annoyance - it would seem to be an easy thing to program that the signature lands wherever at the location of the cursor???

Snow Leopard Mail Signature Files Still Not Showing Inline

I was hoping Snow Leopard's mail would fix my signature file being added as an attachment rather than appearing inline in the message as you'd expect. Any ideas or anybody found a way to get the signature file to actually appear with the mail text? (Recepients on Exchange 2007 server running Outlook 2003 latest service pack on Windows XP Pro see my signature file as an attachment.)

I suspect, but haven't had a chance to retest with Mail 4.0 with any recipient, that the problem remains the use of Rich Text Format when sending to anyone using Outlook or Outlook Express. Test composing your Signature only in Plain Text, and then send the entire message in Plain Text. Not as pretty, but should work.

When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook. Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

I attach a file in mail and the whole thing shows there ie. attach a PDF and the whole pdf content is displayed in the mail. Anyone know how I just get the icon toi appear as the attachment rather than the whole file? This only happens with pdf and jpg

Hi Folks,
When I attach a jpg or pdf to a mail it shows as the whole document "pasted" into the mail. Anyone know how I get the file to just show as an icon and not as a mass of pasted in docs?
Thanks,
Pedro

For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader. To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps

I have a jpeg signature for a signature in Mail account. When I attach another file to the email and se nd it to a Windows -operated recipient, my signature becomes an attachment as well and only the body of the email message is left.

I have a jpeg I have added for a profeesional look to my signature in my Mail acount. When I attach other files to the message and send the message to a Widows-user recipient, the signature is no no seen as a signature and simply becomes an attachment with the email.
What can I do to stop this happening. Thanks

File menu "Attach Files..." then Tick off "Windows-friendly Attachment".

Can anyone suggest how I achieve this?
Thanks!

I haven't tried it, but take a look at http://allforces.com/2006/04/14/css-signatures/ . That might help do what you want.

Logo in signature without showing as an attachment?

I would like to send emails with my company logo as part of the signature. Is there a way to do this without it showing as an attachment?

Images have to be either linked or attached, and there's always a good chance that the recipient will never view either, so there's rarely any point to this practice.

Leopard Mail Not Showing # Unread Messages in Dock Icon

For some inexplicable reason, my Leopard version of Mail has stopped showing unread message notifications. I still hear the mail ding, but there's no little red badge on the doc icon showing how many unread messages I have. And, yes, the "Dock unread count" is set to all mailboxes since I have multiple email accounts I check. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?
Message was edited by: celticdreamz

Jeff Greenberg's response was brilliant! Thanks Jeff.
I have had 2 "unread mail" items showing up for weeks and have been agonizing over what and where they were, how important the "unread" mail was, and what life experiences, deals, etc., I was missing out on. Creating a Smart Mailbox showing Unread mail worked - one caveat however: Add a second condition - that the the Unread Mail be in your INBOX (forgetting to add this condition this showed me HUNDREDS of unread mail items that resided in my OTHER Smart Mailboxes).
It worked. I found, read, and deleted my "unread mail" - Nothing important. Thanks again!

How do I import a jpeg image into my mail signature so that it wont separate when it gets to the receiving email

How do I import a jpg image into my mail signature box so that it wont separate into an attachment when it gets to the receiving mail box. We have a company logo and when I send it to someone it does not show up under our address but rather as an attachment. How do I keep this from happening?

Outlook 2010 e-mail signature missing from reply

Hi!
I have create a signature, and it works fine when creating new emails. But when replying/forwarding, there is no signature attached. And this despite I have attached the signature under options->mail->signatures->Replies/forwards.
I have tried setting it to none, saving, adding it again and also with another very simple plain two word signature, with no result....
I am running Office Professionel Plus 2010 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
I really hope that you have some suggestions, because this is really annoying!
BR Rasmus Hovendal

I had the same problem after upgrading to Outlook 2010, and this was the only place I got a search hit on (with Bing search of course) showing others with the same problem. I think I just found the solution (fixed it for me) so I
thought I would share. There seem to be multiple exchange accounts now (I don't remember if they were there before) in the Signature editing dialog, and each one of them has sig settings. In the "Choose Default Signature: section, for the "Email
Account:" drop down, select "Microsoft Exchange" and pick your sigs, select "Exchange" and select your sigs, and I guess select any others too :).
I am assuming the problem is intermittent depending on who is autopopulated in the "from" section for the email that you are forwarding or replying to, "Exchange" or "Microsoft Exchange", although i don't know the logic of why one would be chosen over
the other.
