That’s the last file you created in Mail with the extension. Go into your text editor (BBEdit or TextWrangler) where you have your placeholder file open. This is pretty standard if you do any sort of HTML editing.ġ3. Note: when you make edits to the file’s source, you can continue to preview the file from Safari. Open the signature file from inside of Safari. This is how you’ll preview what this file looks like. If you’re using my example, the file name should be example_signature_file.html.ġ2. Save the sample signature to your desktop. Here is another example you might use.ġ1. How much you want to tinker is up to you. You can get more elaborate with the HTML if you want. Where the logo is hosted is up to you, but it has to be publicly hosted somewhere.)

(My example shows the logo being called/hosted on my server.) In the new code snippet I added at the top of the page notice that the Linkedin badge is called directly from Linkedin. NOTE: When you view the source of the sample file you will notice the trick with the logo that makes this whole thing work. (Or copy and paste the code snippett I incouded above.) Now we have to get into a little HTML code. Once you get this file opened, just leave it open for now.ġ0. Open this file using BBEdit or TextWrangler. (See Fig 2 at the bottom of this post.)ĩ. This will show you the last signature file you created, which should be your placeholder from earlier. Now drill baby drill: Library -– > Mail - > V5 -> Maildata -– > SignaturesĨ. (Update 5-21-16: The folder changed from V2 to V3. You should notice Library appear in the list. When you’ve clicked GO then hold down the Option Key. Here is the fast way to get there: From Finder, click GO (appears in the top menu when Finder is active). You need to go to the folder named Library. This will take some drilling down through your computer.
Next we will need to locate the signature file you just created.
Bbedit 11.5 how to#
You can leave the contents of the signature blank, but you must have this file created and associated with an account in order for the next steps to work. Each signature you create is stored as a separate .mailsignature file (we will get into how to edit this file in a minute.)Ħ. Create a new signature and assign it to the email account you wish to use. Select the email account for which you want to assign this new signature.Ĥ. In the menu go to Mail -– > Preferences - > Signatures.ģ. (The following procedure has been validated as of on Apple Mail v. The issue rests on how the logo image is embedded in your signature. (it’s almost as annoying as those ridiculous disclaimers people tack on to the end of their emails, but don’t get me started on that pseudo-legal baloney.)
Typically an email with an attachment is of higher importance than one without. When every email you receive from your colleagues looks to have an attachment, it can drive you nuts. The culprit of this phantom file is invariably the logo or image they are using as part of their email signature.Īfter a period of trying to ignore this at work, I finally broke down.
If you’re reading this, you know how aggravating it can be to get an email from someone, seemingly with an attachment, but there is no a attachment. Follow the process outlined in the rest of this post. Library -– > Mail - > V5 -> Maildata -– > Signaturesīelow I have added a code snippet, which uses a LinkedIn Badge. The new path to the signature file is now: This process was just validated on Apple Mail v.
