Email Signature
Informations
- A mail sign is in HTML format, the best is to use basic HTML to increase compatibility with mails clients
- A sign should not be higher than 10ko ( 5 ko is recommended )
- As images are important for a nice display, it is important to know how to set them well
- For more templating information there s a lot of website like:
http://blog.c-marketing.eu/transformez-votre-signature-mail-en-atout-marketing/
http://www.busy-women.fr/2014/11/signature-de-mail/
- Finally, the most important is the fact that you like your sign before others,
the display rules ( spacing, solors, visibility .. ) are the same as any documents or supports
Images
- external images ( not recommended )
- trouble : mail client will ask user acceptation to display the images
<img src="http://urldelimage.com/nomdelimage.ext">
- encoded images ( recommended )
- trouble : some ( not a lot but some are important like hotmail ) will not display the images
<img src="data:image/png;base64,CODE_BASE64_DE_L_IMAGE_ICI...FIN_DU_CODE">
- encoded images in attached files ( highly recommended )
- trouble : not a lot of mail client do it ( well ), most of the time it is the case use for mail sent programatically
--boundary Content-Type: image/png; name="sig.png" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="sig.png" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: <0123456789> Content-Location: sig.png base64 data --boundary <img src="cid:0123456789">
a post explain it more in detail : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9110091/base64-encoded-images-in-email-signatures
- to encode images in base64 there es only tool like
https://www.base64-image.de but you can do it programatically if you want
- Image optimization is important, for exemple png-8 16 to 128 colors instead of png-24, try to change option to decrease the weight
results
