I am using Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 I have just set up a new signature block in my
Apple Mail that includes an image graphic as a Tiff. When I send an email, the signature block looks fine. However when that
email is received, the logo image appears twice, one below the other. I've tried deleting, closing, re booting but the problem persists. Any suggestions

If you're experiencing an issue where the image in your Apple Mail signature appears twice when the email is received by others, it could be due to how the email client of the recipient is interpreting your signature. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. **Check the Signature in Apple Mail:**
First, double-check your signature in Apple Mail to ensure that you haven't accidentally added the image twice. Go to Apple Mail's Preferences, select the "Signatures" tab, and review the signature to make sure the image is added only once.
2. **Image Format:**
Make sure the image format you're using in your signature is supported universally. While TIFF is a high-quality format, some email clients may have trouble rendering it correctly. Consider converting the image to JPEG or PNG format and then reinsert it into your signature.
3. **Image Size:**
Ensure that the image's dimensions are appropriate for an email signature. Very large images can sometimes cause rendering issues in email clients. Try resizing the image to a smaller dimension, ideally not larger than 100-200 pixels in width.
4. **HTML Signature:**
If the issue persists, consider creating an HTML signature. This allows for more control over the elements in your signature, including the image. You can create a simple HTML signature with an embedded image. To do this, you'll need some knowledge of HTML coding. Here's an example:
<p>Your Text</p>
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Your Image" width="100" height="100">
Save this code as an HTML file and then import it as your signature in Apple Mail.
5. **Email Client Compatibility:**
Keep in mind that not all email clients display signatures the same way. Test your signature with various email clients to see if the issue is consistent across all recipients or specific to certain clients.
6. **Update Apple Mail:**
Ensure that your operating system is up to date. Sometimes, software updates can resolve compatibility issues and bugs.
7. **Send a Test Email to Yourself:**
Send a test email to your own email address or to a friend with a different email client. This can help you determine whether the issue is specific to your email client or if it's affecting recipients using other email clients.
8. **Check Recipient's Settings:**
Ask your recipients if they are experiencing the same issue. It's possible that the problem is related to how their email client interprets the signature.
If none of these steps resolves the issue, it may be a compatibility problem with the recipient's email client. In such cases, you may need to contact the email client's support or experiment with different image formats and sizes to see if you can find a combination that works better across various clients.

I've put an image in signature on Apple mail and when I send a mail the image appears twice. Any ideas?
