How to add an image hyperlink to your Gmail signature. Using image hyperlinks in your Gmail signature allows you to add multiple hyperlinks in a clean, well-designed way. For example, you can add hyperlinks with your logo linking to your webpage, or logos to social media platforms to display your profiles. If you were in All Signatures, the deleted signature is removed from all email accounts that were using it. How to automatically add a signature to emails. Launch the Mail app on your Mac. In the Menu Bar, click Mail. Select Preferences (or press ⌘, on the keyboard). Click the Signatures tab. Mac Mail Add Link to Signature Image - Edit Menu - Add Link 4. Finally, ensure you still have the image highlighted (ctrl +a) and copy the image (ctrl +c). You can safely close this mail message without saving it. Assuming that you have an image that you wish to add to your new signature, just drag the image from its location on your Mac (using the Finder) and drop it in the same pane where you just typed or pasted your new signature text. The image should appear next to or below your text. Make sure to use only web compatible images - JPG, PNG or GIF. The only way I could get the local image to display in the received email is to drag & drop the image from the Finder into the Mail signature preferences window, but then, I still have the problem that the image is not linked to my website, and I see now way to edit the html source of it in any way.

Not my cup of tea (I really dislike images in signatures), so I did not test. Still, some things you may want to check:
- Are you sure that the new message (which you used temporarily) is not in your Drafts or Deleted Items? And if it is: does the image still show if you fully delete that temporary message?
- Does this yield an attachment rather than an inline image in any non-Mac mail client?

How To Add A Linked Image To Email Signature In Mail For Mac Download

Try this.
1. Paste the graphic into the content area of a new outgoing message.
2. Click on the graphic to select it.
3. Choose Edit-->Link-->Add
4. Type the URL (e.g., mailto:invalid@invalid.com) into the resulting dialog sheet, and click OK in the sheet.
5. Copy the graphic (command-C).
6. Open mail's preferences and click the Signatures tab/icon.
7. Click the '+' button at the bottom of the second column. Optionally rename the signature.
8. Select all the default text in the third column.
9. Paste in the third column.
10. Drag the signature from the second column to an account in the first column. Repeat for as many accounts as you wish to have this signature appear in.

Hey you could make it flash, too. Now that would really be cool.

Well, in my defense, I agree that graphical signatures should usually be avoided. My default sig is set to none.
But, I wanted to make a sig for emails to send to my family, I may never use it, and the jpg image I ended up installing was only 6K. What really interested me was finding a way to get mail to accept linked graphics in signatures. There is an implication in mail.app's programming that setting links in graphics pasted into/dragged into the sig pane should work, but they don't. This was just a small victory.
I am not offended by emails that contain graphics unless they are megabytes big. Life is too short and my 1TB start-up drive isn't especially impacted by large emails.

Then, if that's the case, this AppleScript application (which uses Safari, as an example) does the same thing without the cryptic URL tags. Change the bounds to suit your needs.

Put it on the Dock and you're good to go.

Subliminal recording software. Ooops, wrong topic. I guess I should not bother trying to restore comments ;-)

More annoying is the fact that in your mail, every message with an image signature, displays like it has an attachment (which it has). So if you add a 'real' attachment there is no visual difference.

When properly done, images can be shown without such attachment indicator. But is surely isn't worth the effort, as all other disadvantages still apply.
(I do send people screen captures of my Mac Mail showing this paperclip though, so make them stop using such images.)

I look at the argument like this : Apple macbook air vs microsoft surface pro 4.
email was designed for plain text, it like plain text.
Pushing html into email clients is hacking.
If you read emails on a text console, the html will not be rendered, so you end up not actually communicating.
if you want to use html, go define a new email protocol, DESIGNED for html or whatever you want.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. But I assume that even most people who are reading on a text console do enjoy MIME for its attachments or non-ASCII characters. So, I don't feel MIME is some non-standard extension.
(Though I don't fancy HTML emails either, and Opt-Cmd-P is my best friend in Apple Mail.)

er my point was, design a new protocol, your response was 'the existing one is already extended'
But thanks for playing.
If you have ever read a multipart mime message in elm or pine then you'd know why this extension doesn't work for all users.
Perhaps you think users with screen readers should also not have access to emails?
The only reasonable solution is a new email protocol.

I would not fancy a new protocol that is only to be supported by specific mail clients (I don't like multiple email adresses for different protocols). And I wonder if a new protocol that is to be supported by all major clients, would not yield the same problems. For example: I assume that screen readers are smart enough to handle MIME's multipart/alternative messages. However, currently some (or many) email clients (and notably many website newsletters as well) do not correctly include a text-only version of the message as well. I'm afraid the same would happen with a new protocol.
So, I'm afraid that a new protocol would have the same bad implementations. :-(
Or are there actually still email clients out there that do not, officially, support MIME?

While I'd prefer no graphic files in signatures, this hint sounds like something I could use for creating a signature which would automatically attach my resume.

but id just like to say- congrats on kicking out those pwners- wat happend?

That was weird - Strange GWB images, and a single reload later they are gone, but so was today's new postings.
I am guessing that a quick restore from the most recent backup is what got us back to yesterday - hopefully the hole that was exploited was also closed?

Yes, I'm sure that the Easter Bunny got to work right away on patching the code while Santa Claus was kicking ass and taking names.
Change yr passwords everywhere they're set identical to here.

To the best of our ability to tell, passwords weren't compromised. The hackers merely gained access to the admin side of Geeklog, which doesn't allow any access to the passwords.
However, changing them is never bad advice.
-rob.

You are clearly missing the point, or trolling, I'm not sure which.

If you're still referring to our little discussion on MIME, as that was the last reply in this topic: I wish you well with your outdated elm or pine and your hopes for a new protocol, and hope you'll let the rest of us enjoy this decade's internet.

How To Add A Linked Image To Email Signature In Mail For Mac Free

So you ARE a troll!
Remember your beloved HTML mail runs on what was NeXTStep - from 10 years ago!!!!!!!
How's that for feeding a troll?

The BEST way to add graphics/links is to make an HTML signature and host the images yourself or through a free service and open the html file in Safari, then 'Save as' a Web Archive OVER a signature you've previously saved in Mail.
Ta-dah! An HTML signature you can use whenever you want.
Forgot where I learned this - could've been right here at Mac OS X Hints, probably..
