Adding logo and hyperlinking

HI.

I am using version 2.1.3 of mail. I can add my images to the signature box. When I highlight them and then go to edit - add link: it removes my image and puts the link in it's place. But if I highlight text and do the same thing it does not change my text and makes it a link. How can I get images to be linkable?

Thanks.

See the great post by Zeehond here...

To insert a link in your Mac OS X Mail signature:

Type the URL.
Mac OS X Mail automatically creates links for all web site addresses starting with "http://" or "www".
To link text or an image in a Mac OS X Mail signature:

Click in the signature you want to edit in Mail preferences' Signatures tab.
Press Command-A.
Now press Command-C.
Press Command-N to create a new message.
Click in the message body.
Press Command-A again.
Press Command-V.
Highlight the text or image you want to link.
Select Edit | Link | Add... from the menu.
Enter the desired address.
Click OK.
Press Command-A once more to highlight all text.
Press Command-C.
Go back to the Signatures preferences window.
Make sure the entire signature text is still highlighted.
If it is not, click in the signature and press, yes, Command-A.
Press Command-V.
Close the Signatures window.
Close the New Message window as well, not saving the email as a draft.
Note that such rich-text links will not be present in the plain-text equivalent Mac OS X Mail automatically generates for recipients who prefer to read their mail in just text.

Or fancier...

HI.

I tried what was said above and it still turned deleted my image and displayed the link in writing.

I am wondering if it is this version of mail - 2.1.3 Is it possible this is not a option in this version? When I go to edit - it does not say add link - it says add hyperlink. Is this the issue? I have another computer that is Mail version 4.3 and it is easy to put the image in and make it a link.

Thanks.
