"Missing Plug-in" when inserting image into Mail Signature

I have just had to have my Mac reformatted by the Genius Bar to resolve issues. Now hen I try to insert an image into a Signature in Mail it shows the text but the image is replaced by a grey block with the "Missing Plug-in" message.

I have previously used this signature with the image on this machine when it had previously been updated to Sonoma from Ventura.


Anyone any ideas on this?

You do not say why you had to have your Drive reformatted(?) is there a bigger issue...



Not sure the relevance of the screenshot...

where is the message?


I see now your SS was so tiny I could not read it




Note—None of my 5 signature w/ images have been affected by the Sonoma upgrade...


What I can say— Plug-ins are no longer supported in macOS Sonoma.


The new way is "Extensions" see: Mail>Settings>Extensions



—Delete/ Remove/uninstall any old Plug-ins

—If there is a third party involved look for an update there.


Delete the old signatures and build them back new and compare your results.
