Best way to create Email templates with Mac Mail?
also is there anyway to not get signature images to show up as attachments?

Don't know about the attachments/images, but in Thunderbird, I create the signature, then save as an .html file and link it as a signature file.

Yea, pretty sure you have to link a sig with images.

Most of my customers don't do this so when I save all from their emails I end up with all their crappy sig images too.

It seems it is possible to get an image in the sig without it being an attachment in Apple Mail though I have not tried it. You will need someplace online to store your image files though (like photobucket or some other free image site).

my advice is just don't do it...  I hate friggen emails with 800 images of the shit trees you are saving by sending the email.

just put your name, number and business address and call it a day.

Often times my boss will come dashing in here asking WTF am I supposed to do with that shitty image file. (90% is large format) 100% of the time she has downloaded the signature/logo instead of the real file. Tee hee.

Sure you can. From the file menu "Save Attachments..." saves all of the attachments of the selected email to wherever you specify.

I get tired of answering the question "can you open these images for me?" when all they are is the stupid images for these morons sigs in their emails.


Just Say No....  Remember only you can prevent mass murder-cide!     :death:

Or say "yes, I can" and then walk away.
