How to manually create an Outlook signature with images?
I have developed a desktop application that has a feature to create an Outlook signature.
This works perfectly, for the most part. The application generates the HTML signature and saves it in the correct location and Outlook is able to see it just fine for use in outgoing emails.
The issue is with images. Is it possible to somehow specify a local .png file, for example, to be included in the signature?
Within the HTML my application generates, I include the following <img> tag:
<img width=152 height=84 src="[path]image.png">
This works just fine on our local systems. When starting an outgoing email, the image appears as it should. The recipient, however, gets the usual "missing image" red X in place of the intended image.
Edit
Due to firewall restrictions, linking to an online image is not available in this case.
Also, Outlook allows us to add offline images directly using its own signature editor, so I am I am hoping to mimic that ability.

You may try placing your signature image on the Internet and edit the HTML to the internet path to see the result.

Have you tried base64 encoding your image and then doing something like<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgA..."/>?

I found the reference about using offline images with the sig editor (extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/…) which leads to a question. Are you able to view the resulting signature from this "solution" in HTML to see how it's done?

Jul 4 '18 at 14:57
@fred_dot_u Yes. Microsoft adds dozens of lines of additional code to even just a simple text signature, much of which I don't understand. But i tried to mimic the same file structure and img tags. There must be something in there I'm missing.

Outlook since version 2013 no longer embeds images in signatures and maintains
the link to the location of the picture, although a reference to a local image
will not exist for the recipient.
The issue only happens when you’ve manually created the signature in an HTML editor
rather than by using the Outlook Signature Editor.
This works when including the picture via the Outlook Signature Editor,
because special HTML tags are used, which are recognized
upon sending, so that Outlook will still end up embedding these linked pictures.
These tags come from the old
Vector Markup Language (VML),
which is still used today by Outlook.
You could use the
Outlook Signature Editor
to create an example signature for seeing the VML tag <v:image> in action,
then modifying your HTML accordingly.
One resource by Microsoft is the article
Using the Image Element.
The following example comes from the article:
<v:image style='width:100pt;height:80pt' src="image1.jpg" />

Just as superuser requires that one upload an image or provide a URL to display an image in a post, your application must also make similar allocations.
As Steve Fan suggests, you have to have an external resource that Outlook can access. A possible exception would be if you have an in-house server that is accessible by outside users.
Replace the [path] with the URL of the image and the intended objective will function. An exception to this would be if the recipients have their email client block outside images for inbox messages, which is common and cannot be bypassed.

Just as superuser requires that one upload an image or provide a URL to display an image in a post, your application must also make similar allocations.
As Steve Fan suggests, you have to have an external resource that Outlook can access. A possible exception would be if you have an in-house server that is accessible by outside users.
Replace the [path] with the URL of the image and the intended objective will function. An exception to this would be if the recipients have their email client block outside images for inbox messages, which is common and cannot be bypassed.

Thank you. This, unfortunately, will not work for my case. I've updated my original question.

You may try placing your signature image on the Internet and edit the HTML to the internet path to see the result.

Have you tried base64 encoding your image and then doing something like
<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgA..."/>?– Richard

I found the reference about using offline images with the sig editor (extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/…) which leads to a question. Are you able to view the resulting signature from this "solution" in HTML to see how it's done?

@fred_dot_u Yes. Microsoft adds dozens of lines of additional code to even just a simple text signature, much of which I don't understand. But i tried to mimic the same file structure and img tags. There must be something in there I'm missing.
