Scenario
When you send an email, your signature is applied to the email and is correctly received by the recipient. However, when the recipient replies, you notice that the images in the signature are missing or they appear as attachments. Sometimes the images are replaced with something like '<image001.png>' in a very small font.
Example:
Reason
Typically, this issue is caused when the Mail app on a Mac or an iOS device (Apple iPhone or iPad) is being used to reply to an email. The mail client's default settings specify that embedded images are removed from the email and replaced with tags, such as <image001.png>.
The tag implies that the image has been removed from the email.
Resolution
Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a setting on the mail client being used, this is not something Exclaimer can control.
