Apple Mail Signature images loading as Question Marks after updates on desktop and iOS

Same issue here, since updating to monterrey. Not with images, but with text that is completely overlapping. The HTML file shows fine in browser. If the issue can't be fixed, I suppose changing email-client would be the only solution?

The overlapping text appears to be an unrelated bug involving text-formatting styles such as bold and italics when setting a custom font for viewing the message body in Mail.app. I also see this issue and have reported it via the Feedback app.

I've just updated to Monterey today and instantly have the exact same problem. I even created a completely new email signature, but the html part is still just showing as either white blank rectangles, or blue ones with a question mark in the middle.

Agree with all the other posters, it is making my emails look pretty **** unprofessional!!! Hope this gets fixed by Apple as a matter of urgency.

In Monterey I could do nothing about changing my HTML Signature — I tried in iCloud, excluding iCloud with 3 tutorials — nope. What used to work before – now didn't.

I used to cope with it many times before, despite how time-consuming it was.

Anyway — isn't the at last time to make it easy?

HTML Signature is used by many, many users, as I suppose — it's shame Apple doesn't do anything about it.

Thanks for sharing this work around, Janneman84. I was really excited about trying this but unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I might have done something wrong. All I get is a white empty space. The background color doesn't even show. Here my code:

<a href="http://www.migratesound.com" title="Check Out Our Website" style='
color: transparent;
width: 240px;
height: 60px;
display: inline-block;
background: #fff7dd;
background-image: url("data:image/png;base64,aHR0cDovL3d3dy5taWdyYXRlZGVzaWduLmNvbS9lbWFpbHNpZ25hdHVyZWltYWdlcy9NaWdyYXRlU291bmRMb2dvLnBuZw=="), url("http://www.migratedesign.com/emailsignatureimages/MigrateSoundLogo.png");
background-size: cover;
'>Migrate Sound</a>

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thx.

It seems like that was the problem. I can now see the background. However, I'm still not seeing the actual image. I know the url works (I tested it by pasting it directly into the address bar). Does it have something to do with the base64 url?

Janneman84, apologies for the multiple replies. I got it to work with a correct base84 url. But here is my question... The whole purpose of this code (for me) was to link to the image as opposed to embed the image in the body of the email. Is the image attached or is it still referenced?

This issue started when I was on Monterey 12.1. Tried all methods and it didn't work. I came across this thread and saw the dropbox solution and that works perfectly till I upgraded my mac to 12.3.1 last month. It's showing the blue question mark again. I've tested my mail on other clients including the latest version of iOS and all of them are showing it perfectly.

I'm having the same issue after updating to Monterey. The area in my email signature where my image is just shows the alt tag I have on it. My image is an absolute reference from my server using https://. Has always worked until now.

Agree with all of this. It’s a broken experience, but just (for me) a little less broken than it appeared on first inspection.

I've used this feature forever -- even showed off to PC users about it. It's funny that now it doesn't work. I look forward to learning about a fix.

Oh and think about dark mode too. My Outlook web client in dark mode shows e-mails with a #333333 gray background. Do you want your logo to take over that dark color or not?
