Adding a picture to Email signature

Crookedfoot · Jul 10, 2004

Is there a way to add html to an emails signature to display a picture?

I've asked a few with no luck.
I know there are utilities that can do it if you route your mail through them, but I'd rather not do that.

I'd like to add this to BF mailings.

Well i just upload it to a site to host it then give him the url.

But not sure if Email allows html.

They do, but Junk Mail folders won't show the pictures/HTML unless the person enables it to.

I believe we can change the content headers of the e-mail so we can allow HTML. But I don't know how to do that.

Also, as Sak said, a lot of people will have disabled images to protect themselves from being detected (images returning e-mail address existance), and some like Yahoo! disable images unless specified.

Its not hard, it just depends on your email client.

Aparently the one that comes with the server has no easy way of allowing it.

Oh well, I tried.

Thanks guys

um....its not that hard...

{html}
{body}
{img src="http://www.battleforums.com/images/logo.gif"}
{/body}
{/html}

replaces the { and } with < and >

Or use a PHP emailer:

PHP:

<?php
/* recipients */
$to  = "mary@example.com" . ", " ; // note the comma
$to .= "kelly@example.com";

/* subject */
$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";

/* message */
$message = '
<html>
<head>
 <title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
 <tr>
  <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
';

/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

/* additional headers */
$headers .= "To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: [email]birthdayarchive@example.com[/email]\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: [email]birthdaycheck@example.com[/email]\r\n";

/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

With the good use of forms and replacing, and do the HTML inside the "$message" however you like. It works for sure, cause ive recieve emails with images from "Michales minute (linspire/lindows)" and it has perfect centering and such, so just with the help of forms and the like, images are possible
