My email signature appears as attachments to some recipients

I put an email signature together using two logos in jpeg format along with text in Mail Preferences. I just found out that people are getting these as separate attachments instead of what I see before I hit Send.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks

Thank you, this is also a problem for me.
Is there a different file type that would allow me to include my company logo in my signature?
Additionally, I have begun having problems in Mail where before there were none; with .pdf attachments not showing up at the recipient. Some are on MACs, some on PCs, but they show an attachment is there (paperclip) but cannot see or open an attachment. Any thoughts? If so please use plain English, I am in way over my head.
Many thanks!!

Email signature appears twice

Hi all. I have recently started using Mail to run my new business email, and set up an email signature. All of a sudden it seems to be putting the signature in each mail twice. I have checked the signature setup and it's fine - doesn't appear twice. I've searched the forum but haven't seen this problem come up before. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance

I have the same issue in Mail.app on the Mac. When I get emails from Outlook users that have images in the signature, the image appears twice.

Blank Email Messages Sent from Mail to Some Recipients!

When I send email, using Apple Mail, I'm told that the body of my messages appear completely blank (although my address and the subject line do come through). I've narrowed it down to people who have hotmail, msn, and earthlink accounts.
I have tried on both my MacBook Pro and older G4. They both have this problem. I also have 4 email accounts, all through different services, and again all have this problem.
I am using some CSS in my signatures, but when I don't use a signature I still have this problem.
Any ideas on what the issue might me. Thanks in advance.

Hi ideaspring
I compared your plist to mine. There were many differences naturally, but some stand out in my opinion:
I found the following in your plist, but no in mine:
EncryptOutgoingMessages = 1;
I'm not sure, what this is, but I believe you might have installed a .Mac certificate and set you .Mac account to use this certificate to encrypt or just sign your messages.
I played with that some time ago: the problem was: windows mail clients had to go through quite a hassle to verify my cert, while Mail.app users were fine.
I found the following in my plist, but not in yours.
SendFormat = Plain;
SendWindowsFriendlyAttachments = 1;
AttachAtEnd = 1;
The first can be set in Preferences > Composing, the second and third via the Edit Menu > Attachments > Always...
It would be helpful, if you could narrow the problem down to one of your mailboxes and one recipient, who is willing to help you testing. Even if it happens to all your mailboxes and some recipients, it would be good, if we could find a way of always reproducing the symptom.

Why do my emails appear as spam to some recipients?

I use Timewarner as my internet provider. My email through them is [email protected] I have a gmail account: [email protected] Many times when I use Thunderbird to send emails they get bounced back to me with messages telling me they're spam (they're not). Sometimes they end up in the recipients junk folder but many times they simply disappear. If I go to the Timewarner website and send the exact same email from their server it gets delivered properly. Same with gmail. It's as if Thunderbird is making my emails into spam. The recipients that I'm having trouble with do not have me marked in their spam filter. Also, it's with recipients that I've had no problems in the past-it's just suddenly they can't receive my emails. Sometimes it clears up on it's own. Other times it comes and goes. I've been using Thunderbird for over 10 years and it's only had this issue for the last year or so.
Also, possibly related, sometimes when I write a long emails and send it I get a message saying "attaching" even though there's no attachment. The email won't get sent. If I copy the email text, cancel the original, and resend it quickly it goes through. I have done several virus checks and everything seems clear.
Thank you
Joe

your latter issue sounds very like McAfee anti viruses. Your first could be anti virus related as well.

Thank you, Matt. I may have had McAfee on this computer in the past but it's long gone. I've been using Microsoft security essentials. It runs virus checks daily.
I suspect a bug in Firefox. I'm tempted to reload it but I don't want to lose any of my emails.

Email signature displayed twice

Hi there,
I use MS Outlook on my iMac to send/receive emails. In Outlook, I have an email signature setup which consists of some text and a few images.
I've never used the mail app on the iPad so I wanted to test it by sending myself an email using Outlook on my Mac but opening the email on my iPad. When I opened the email on my iPad using the mail app, the signature was displayed twice. Can this be fixed? Note: this is def something to do with the mail app on my iPad because when I send emails to other people from my mac the signature is never displayed twice.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks.

I have the same issue in Mail.app on the Mac. When I get emails from Outlook users that have images in the signature, the image appears twice.

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

Some recipients receive my images attached to emails, some find they are embedded and difficult to impossible to separate. Just found out that if I remove my attached signature, the problem goes away. How to send images signature reliably?

When you attach things, make sure to check the box that says [√] Send Windows-Friendly attachments

After 10.8.4 Update, I receive a series of capital A's in a box in some of the email signatures I receive. I can not figure out how to correct this.

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type.

I'm trying to write an email and import files that are in other emails I've been sent. Some are attachments. How can I do this?

Hello,
I'm new to the mac world and would like to know how to compose an email including information from emails I've received. I want to forward the contents of three emails to my a new email I'm composing. One email has attachments and the others have typed info. I know I can copy/paste but I'm not sure about the attachments. Is it best to open them and copy them to the email?

Save those attachments > Default location is the Downloads Folder.
Then re-attach to your new email.

Apple Mail Signatures send as attachments!

Hello
I have searched all over the place about this problem and not come across a solution. I know there are lots of discussions on here about it but nothing helps.
I have a signature in Mail which consists of some text and an object (.jpeg file).
When sending emails with just text to people using Windows email programs ie Outlook, the message and signature comes out fine.
If I add an attachment say a word file or pdf, the Signature .jpeg turns into an attachment, so then the recipient has 2 attachments on the email and my signature does not appear correctly.
Like I said, I have searched for hours trying to find a solution, and was wondering if anyone or Apple has managed to resolve this yet and I just haven't found it.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!!!
Thanks

Anything in an email message that is not text must be sent as an attachment. That is not an Apple issue, it is tha way email works. Some email programs, including Mail, will recognize certain attachment types and display them in the message. The recipient might not even notice that the file was sent as an attachment. Other email programs do not do that, and an attachment will always appear as an attachment. If you include non-text in your signature, then some recipients will not see it the way you visualize it. There is nothing you (or Apple) can do about that.

Images in email signatures bug on Reply (Mail)

Hi,
I'm using Mail as email software.
I have some problems with email signatures, when I reply to these emails.
The signatures contained in these mails contain HTML images encoded via base_64.
If I forward the message, there's no problem with images included.
But if I reply to the message, images appear as encoded characters.
What's the problem? Do I have to change any setting ? Or do I have to adapt the image's encoding ?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Karl,
so you tried the IMG tag and it does not work for you?
For example
would in CDT view turn out like
Though one potential problem with this is that depending on the receiver's e-mail client it may block auto-download of external images.

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.

When i make search in my old email, when i want to open some of them for a lot i cant. For some no problem. There are emails from the same folder in same dates.

I search in my email something. When want to open the content from the emails, for some i can but for other i cant.
Same type of emails, same date, same attachments.

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...
