email sig with company logo but no attachment

grahamor

Hi.

My brother has set up his own business and has the company logo down below his signature at the bottom of every email.

If there are way to use the logo without it coming in as an attachment ?

Maybe i could reference it from the server where the site is hosted but what code needs to go into the page to do this ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Send the mail as HTML and include the image as a link, i.e. img src="...".

It's by no means foolproof. If the recipient is using a text-only client, the mail will appear as code, and unreadable to most people. If he's using certain clients, e.g. outlook, the image may appear as a red box with "Images have been blocked for security reasons".

If it's for a newletter, I would advise giving people the option for Plaintext or HTML when signing up. If it's for general use, I would advise not using an image at all, just text, in bold italic or something. Much cleaner and more predictable.

Very annoying system. It only works on windows and you get all these people sending you these really annoying emails asking you to update your details.

no matter what way you do it...

keep in short, txt based and simple. but if you want to do it, they look good on windows based pcs..

Email sigs if done properly will work fine on other platforms.. it's just the plaxo spam that bugs me

actually while we are on the subject, how do you get entourage on OSx to allow you have a image as a link in a sig! i can get an image into it, but cannot make it link!
