Old html signature keeps appearing

Hi,
I created an html signature for my mail account. It has worked fine. Very simple. Just a link to an image (png) on my server.
The thing is, yesterday I altered the image slightly, saved, uploaded to server (overwrote the original), created the new webarchive, replaced the existing webarchive file in the Home--> Library --> Mail --> Sig folder. Renamed new webarchive file to match previous. When I compose new mail, the old signature appears. This happens even though it doesn't exist anymore in the Sig folder. And the image doesn't exist anymore on my server.
So, I decided to trash everything and start again. In Mail prefs, created the default sig in order to generate/establish the file in the Sig folder. Then created the html doc (with correct link to png file on my server), opened in Safari, saved as webarchive to my desktop. Opened that webarchive just to check that the sig appeared correctly. It did. Then, replaced the existing webarchive file (showing default sig created 5 minutes earlier within Mail Prefs) with this new one. Renamed it with the just replaced file's name. Dragged the sig from the middle pane of the Prefs window over to the account I wanted it for, opened new message window. And . . . .
The OLD signature (the previous image, that is, that I overwrote on my server) still keeps appearing! But as with the first example above, it doesn't exist anywhere!
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what to do about it? Is it just some lag on cached images maybe? It's gone on for a day or two.
One other thing I noticed completely by accident: I open a new message window, the old sig appears. I move cursor to the drop down menu above the window to the right to check the signature selected. It's the right one. I click to select it again (even though it's already selected) and then the newer sig appears, replacing the older one. However, when I send the email to myself, no sig appears in the mail I receive.
Go figure! But again, any thoughts?
Many thanks.

Old mail signatures keep coming back

Using OS X 10.8.2 and Apple Mail. I have 3 POP accounts that I use with different signatures. I have one signature that I need to edit. Everythings seems fine until I quite/restart mail and the old signature is back. There are actually several old signatures (6 total) and I only need to keep 2 so I delete 4 and edit one. Eveytime the other 4 old signatures are back and the edit is lost.
I do use iCloud but have mail turned off - only sync Contacts and Calendars from the basic Mac OS system.
I have looked all through Mail and System Preferences and can't find anything.
Can someone tell me what to look for?
thanks
bill

Another interesting point about these returning emails. If I do a targeted search by sender, e.g., nytimes.com, the old emails don't turn up in the search results. And those old emails I had designated as spam (e.g., Dr Oz crap) have also returned. I'll follow advice about Facebook page.

HTML signature appears different in email body

I attached an HTML signature in the Thunderbird preferences but it appears different when I send an email to myself. I understand that formatting can change between different email clients but I assumed it would appear the same in Thunderbird mail as it does in the settings. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for your response! The signature was created in Word and is basic with no graphics. I exported the file from Word as HTML then used the select HTML file option for signature in Thunderbird settings. I also have copy and pasted the raw code. Either way it looks correct in the preview in settings but the font doesn't stay when I send an email to myself and receive within Thunderbird. Perhaps the preview will show any HTML correctly even if Thunderbird can't receive it that way? Thanks again!

The graphic HTML signature panel does not appear in my Mac mail

The graphic HTML signature panel does not appear in my Mac mail. I have inserted the signature after reading on the forum. But the images do not download - the rest of the text in the signature is in place - just the logo and the baseline which is a graphic file does not download. Please help.

Hi, are the pics at a remote location, or on your Mac?
Have you tried drag & dropping the graphics on the signature window?

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

How do I remove the 2 dashed lines (dashes) from above my html signature (from file) appearing in new mail I write?

I have saved an HTML signature to file (as per Mozilla instruction).
When I write new mail the signature is present but it is preceded by 2 dashes.
I have no idea why and would like to have them removed please.

You are refering to the signature delimiter.
'''what does the delimiter do?'''
http://www.ehow.com/info_12071771_email-signature-delimiter.html
If the signature is placed directly after the reply and on top of the quote, it lacks the "-- " signature separator. That separator is used by Thunderbird to strip off the old signature when replying or changing identities. The signature becomes part of the message and can no longer be automatically removed (since it can't be identified using the seperator), causing a stacked signature
''' To switch it off for all identities of your accounts:'''
Tools > Options > Advanced> General tab
or
menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced> General tab
* click on 'Config editor' button
it will tell you to be careful :)
* in top search type: separator
* look for this line: mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator; false
* Double click to toggle 'false' to 'true' or right click on line and select 'Toggle'
* Close config editor - top right X
* click on OK to save changes in Options.

Thanks.

I changed my apple ID but the old ID keeps appearing when trying to log in

I changed my apple id and password, but the old id keeps appearing when trying to log in

Did you create a whole new Apple ID or change the email on the Apple ID you had previously? There is a BIG difference. Ocean20 explain quite clearly the problem you are likely having.
Let me explain it this way. If Apps were money, it would be like opening a bank account (your Apple ID), putting a bunch of money (apps) in that account, then opening a new bank account (Apple ID) and wondering where all your money (apps) went.

Image in html signature doesn't appear

I've tried this tutorial to put together an html signature including images.
http://allforces.com/2006/04/14/css-signatures/
As you can see at Step 6, the image shows when the signature is selected. When I compose an email however, I always get a 'blue question mark icon' as if the link to the image can't be found. I'm using images which are online, saved the html file as a webarchive file in safari etc. When I send the email anyway to for example my gmail address, the signature is ok and the image shows in the signature.
Why does the image doesn't show when I am writing the email and include the signature? Why do I get a blue question mark icon when writing the email? Perhaps I should point out that we're using IMAP should that matter.
The image should appear as it does in Step 6 in that tutorial. What could be wrong?

Hi there,
I had a similar problem with my .mac (mobileme) mail account. Followed basically same approach: I created the html signature in TextEdit and saved as a webarchive when opened in Safari. Then renamed it to have same name as existing non-html signature file in Home > Library > Signatures
(So, for those who are new to this, it basically replaces the one your mac created when you create a signature within Mail Prefs > Signatures; but even though you replace it, it needs to have the same name so it knows which mail account it applies to; I have 4 mail accounts in my program, with 4 sigs I created via the Prefs, so there were 4 of those sig files in Library).
Then I uploaded the image to an external server. Made sure I reselected the signature in the middle pane of the Prefs > Signatures area and dragged it over to the mail account.
Composed mail using .mac account, new signature DID appear (but it doesn't when looking at Prefs > Sig pane; that shows the ? mark because it doesn't go get the image at the external server, I guess). *Problem: when I sent mail as a test, it wouldn't show up in the mail that I sent.*
I just figured that Apple was stripping out the html sig. But today I tested again and it's there.
Somewhere in this thread, one of the guys mentioned giving it some time. That seems to have worked for me.
Just wanted to share because more and more people are starting to add html sigs.
(P.S. Also created these html sigs for my other, non-mobileme mail accounts and they appeared in the sent mail as soon as I sent the mail. No delay.)

How can I embed an html signature in my mail

how can I embed an html signature in my mail signatures? I have done it easy with older operating systems, but have no idea with the 10.8.2. Following the olds steps don't work...can't "save as" in the library...that folder isn't even an option

Photos keep appearing the wrong way round in slideshow!

Photos which I imported from my old macbook (running 10.4) onto my new imac (10.5.8) keep appearing the wrong way round or stretched out when I play them as part of a slideshow even though in the library they appear fine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
Thanks

Yes the plist file is important, but next time you start iPhoto it will create a brand new one.
This file records various user settings - like the background colour, for instance. If you trash it then when iPhoto re-creates it it simply returns things to the factory default settings.
Trashing the plist file is troubleshooting 101.
Also don't understand what you mean by "If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again"
By default, your iPhoto Library lives in your Pictures Folder. That's where iPhoto looks for it. If you've moved the Library - and I'm guessing you haven't - then you need to tell iphoto where you moved it to. Why? Because that's a setting recorded in the plist file.

Apple Mail - HTML Signature Help

I created a html signature that I assumed would work in Apple Mail, but when I send an email I get the images and links not showing up with blue ? appearing. The signature looks fine in the signatures menu of my preferences.
<Edited by Host>

Making a fancy HTML signature is a little more involved than that. It's not very user friendly. There are a number of tutorials on the internet for hacking them up. Here is one example: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/16/mac-101-making-a-fancy-signature-in-mail-app/ and there are many others.
PS - I have asked the hosts to remove all the personal information from your post. You don't want that there.

Old html files (done on Page Mill) do not open in latest Dreamweaver

I have a large website with many html pages, all developed on the old Adobe Page Mill application. When I try to open any of those html pages onto my new Dreamweaver CS5.5 on my new iMac, those html files are not recognized as "openable" (their titles appear in light gray, and clicking on them does not open them. I can't even click and drag them into the Dreamweaver window. How can I open those old html files in Dreamweaver?

May I recommend you to read this article first to get the basics of "Defining a site" in DW.
<http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html>
This article will give you a head start in Working with DW. Page Mill files are simple text file and they should open readily in DW but who knows what has gone with your system that nothing seems to work.
Good luck.
