Johnny,

Regarding the embedded graphics.

We embed a link to a logo on our website so that we have some graphic in our signature

This is ioho the best way to embed a graphic in an email and prevents that the graphics show-up in the email as attachments, something I don’t like at all (understatement !).
Especially since it makes it “hard” to differentiate between clutter in the signature and real—important/valuable— attachments.

Regards,


Marc

I've been on the net since 300 baud, acoustic coupler Arpanet connections, and get where you're coming from. I'm a lawyer and 80% of my peers use Outlook with HTML email, and many have graphics in their signatures. I'm essentially competing with them for credibility.

I know you all prefer no HTML, but does this at least improve things? I figured out how to make my current Apple Mail signature in HTML, and do have an HTML signature. But without any embedded graphics at present.
