Re: [PLUG] Open source Mail client

I think you misunderstood what I meant by image. It's not an image of me but my company logo. Most businesses today use those as a signatures along with some way of contacting them.

Not only that, I can go into my phone and look at my sent messages and see that my image and logo show up just fine. I've tested this with other phone as well.

I know that it works by using the an old HTML code but that's not the style and color of signature that I want on my emails. If there's any way I can simply copy and paste it in there that would be ideal.
