iOS 7 Email Signature Issues

iOS 8 broke this 😟

Now, you actually have to click into the draft mail before typing a new email. What a pain.

Best option that I have found for this issue is to send yourself an email from a desktop client. Then save each image locally. Copy and paste your signature like normal, but then replace the pasted images with your versions from the gallery (delete image and then long press and insert Image).

Hope that helps.

iOS8 - Does anyone get the problem after all of these workarounds that you send the email to yourself and realize that the image doesn't even come through?

Did the workaround and did a test email to myself (Exchange 2010 Server) on the desktop computer and the image came through as a box with a red "X" saying "The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location."

If you insert photo on the email then it just comes through as an attachment. Can't get anything to actually look right once it is sent even with these workarounds.

Considering that Apple are pushing these devices to corporate users, this bug or lack of support for graphical email signatures is an appalling oversight. Most companies like to see their corporate logo in their email signatures and although it is currently a bit of a faff to get it into the settings field, there is no reason why this should not work. This is my work around until they fix it:

1) Send your iDevice an email containing the required signature.

2) Copy this to the iDevice email signature settings field and perform an Undo (shake device) to ensure the formatting is not altered.

3) Create a new email and paste the signature into this too (even if it already appears). Again shake / Undo to reset the newly pasted formatting.

4) Cancel the email creation without saving. You can now create, forward and reply to any email and the signature will be correct.

The bug is if you now close your email client fully, although the signature settings still show the correct signature including a logo, the email client no longer uses the logo and displays a white box instead. To get this back you need to copy the correct logo from the signature settings field and repeat steps 3 & 4 above to get it back. If you reboot your device then the signature settings will loose the logo too. If you are lucky enough to still have the full signature in your clipboard then you can just past it back into the signature settings field and then repeat steps 3 & 4 above. If not then you will need to email yourself the logo again, if you no longer have the original email (step1)

Come on Apple.....FIX THIS !!!!

If you want to send a Jpeg with your signature on the iPad, get the picture by email or else, save the image to your photos, go to the picture in camera roll of photos app, select to email this picture but you wil not send it, your email message will show up with your selected picture, select the pic in the body of the new to send email and copy. Go to signatures in Settings app, paste the copied image where you want it.

This works for me, the iPad now knows to send the existing pic in your photos app. so no ? again.

Thanks for the idea. Tried it on my iPad running latest OS but as soon as you full close he mail application or reboot the whole device, the graphic is lost from the signature. must be a bug in he software....shame Apple have never bothered to fix this

None of this seems to be a good fix for my 250 users on iPhone/iPad. When an image is in the email and I hit reply, I expect it to still be there. The person who sent it shouldn't have to go to their sent items to find it and see what we were talking about.

Take "signature" out of the equation. When we reply to an email, the image should stay intact. period.

FIxed it with an app " Web Capture" Or any other "free" web cap app. Browse in the web capture app. to a or your site where you can copy a picture which you like to choose in your mail signature. Go and paste in settings signature and it works for me, even after hard reset the picture stays and even in a reply The picture stayed after the paste from web cap app.

Somehow it needs hidden html in the signature fields which you can give by copy and paste from a web capture app.

Tried your suggestion but this did not work either. The applications save the whole webpage so you then need to edit the captured picture. This is no different from loading the logo into the device and copying and pasting this. Come on Apple....fix this please !!

For me it still works, but select not the whole page but just your logo or whatever pict you want. Select the pict by putting your finger on it check if only the pict you want is selected and choose copy And paste in settings signature. For me it is amazingly working, even after a hard reset.

sorry mistake

Okay This is for everyone including the STAFF at APPLE

So I have been to an Apple store, where I found the Tech Staff were quite literally useless let a lone a little rude as in they didn't even want to try and find a work around or even a solution, They flat out told me NO THIS CAN NOT BE DONE, They also stated that a fix will more than likely never eventuate.

However this coming from someone with an IT Professional background. Have the answer, and this does work as I currently have a few Apple devices I have tested this on as the Family has quite a few, I have tested this on the following devices and they all have the most up-to-date firmware of IOS.

2 x IPhone 5

1 x IPhone 5s

1 x IPad 3rd Gen ( I haven't checked the gen but I'm sure it is)

1 x IPad Mini

Okay so now follow these steps.

1. Create a photobucket account or any free photo file sharing website that is publicly viewable. I used photobucket, its your choice. (http://photobucket.com/)
2. Once uploaded, you'll see the Photos you have place on the internet, click on the little "gear/Clog" Icon
3. Click on share Links
4. Copy the HTML code (DO NOT LOSE THIS CODE)
5. Paste this code on a notepad for safe keeping you'll need it again
6. This is where it may get a little tricky. Easiest way is to open a Free Hotmail/Live/Outlook account (http://www.outlook.com/)
7. Once you're in your account, up in the right hand corner you'll find a little "Gear/Clog" Icon
8. Click on the Icon and go to options > Formatting, Font & Signature.
9. While in Rich Text Editing Fill out the Text details, I.E. Name, Contact Details and Address Lead click enter at least twice after your name so there is a gap you can visible notice via the script
10. Change the Rich Text to Edit in HTML
11. Now it'll look all foreign down in the edit panel unless you know HTML
12. As an Example I'll Use my Signature or partial parts of it anyway
13. Now if you have for example Regards, and your name the first line should be similar to this, please note the (<div><br>,<div> is a separate line created by the enter button from step 9) (Regards,<div>Nathan01</div><div><br></div>)
14. Now copy the URL/HTML code from the photobucket images and paste them after the </div>
15. Please note I only have 1 image on my signature. and I have not tried to do this with the Twitter and facebook links, however I can assume if you know HTML and are confident in the coding, you would only need to be a little creative
16. After you have added the images send an email to your email account on the Apple Device, copy the whole signature and paste it into your signature pane in the settings>mail, contacts, calenders
17. Shake the Device to stop it from making its own stupid corrections, click undo changes
18. exit it out of the settings and open a new email to create one
19. let it load and you should have your images. Depending on how many you may need to play around between the free outlook account and sending a couple of tests to get the layout correct for you.

I hope this helps out in some way. As I now have my images and a little relieved Apple devices aren't as useless as I thought, as I had previously owned an android device and had no issues with the signatures images.

Feel free to reply to this if you need more clarification I have considered creating a reply to this post with images.

Now what happens if someone sends me 4 images and asks me to comment on each one. Forget about the signature.Now when I reply those images are not there. They have to goto their sent items to see what each image was they sent me.

Workarounds are nice. But apple does need to fix this.

Unfortunately I wasn't actually addressing your issue craigreilly. I was simply only trying help those with the email signature issues with images. The issue you are talking about has never occurred with me as of yet so unfortunately I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I have sent a few emails to my partners' email address and she has replied and my images for my signatures have remained intact. I have sent her images as attachments and never had an issue either.

However as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't waste my time telling you to see an Apple Tech at one of their stores as they are absolutely useless.

From the research I have done, I have found that especially with the actual signature pane in the settings> mail, contacts, calenders, that the actual "placing or references" to the images being placed in the signatures are being lost as so to say or cannot be accessed so the device auto correct this by either removing the image or leaving the little blank box indicating there was something but its path is missing. The correct or workaround for it currently is to use a public file sharing site like photobucket as most apple devices especially with emails are access to the internet, allow the device to use the HTML code for the images to be located on a public directory.

Nathan - may I ask what email client you are using that inline images are

not removed by iOS Mail replies?

I understand you were not addressing my issue - but I wanted to bring to

light that the image issue goes deeper than just signatures.
