FWIW, you cannot add a link to an image in a signature in Mail. You can add a link to an image inserted in an email. You may have to try a different email client to add a linked image in a signature. It's not something I do so I can't recommend any.

Highlight then Add it:

Best I can say is to highlight the image, and the proceed with the URL. Be certain to mention where clicking the link will take them.

Thank you for your reply.


I insert my company''s logo image to signature on Mac mail. And I'm trying to make this image clickable with a link but no succeed. All these tips with CMD+K, or placing a text before etc. etc. now worked in Catalina.

The same problem with Linkein badge. No matter how I've tried it was not possible to add a link to images.

I hope that you my problem is more clear now.


Thanks

Dangerous for Linked-in profile and my company?

No, dangerous in general. You should never click on a link in an email because you will identify yourself to the spammers, inviting more spam.

Links in email can also redirect to phishing websites.

If you make your recipients comfortable clicking on links in emails, you open them up to phishing attacks using your emails as a vector to harvest their personal information.

Many recipients will disable images and image links in received email so you are spending a lot of time on something many will not even see. And as previously said, images in email can be be a dangerous security risk, for the recipient. If you were to send an email to me I would not even see your image let alone allow it to have a clickable link.

I understand your point of view but I kind disagree on that. Having said that my emails sent to our clients. I’m not referring to newsletter or thousands mails to random people. People that they contacting us through our web site and I have on my signature all my data available. I don’t see how a person finds out that my email is a spam when he/she awaiting for my reply.

thanks anyway
