GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 754050
Embed signature images
Last modified: 2018-12-27 11:03:12 UTC
Geary should allow images to be included in a signature embedded or as an attachment rather than a reference to an external image. Currently if you want an image signature, recipients will need to allow remote images to actually see it. Evolution Mail and Thunderbird handle this well, you can paste some text with image data (e.g. copied from a rendered HTML page) and they embed the image data in the signature.
Will look at getting basic support for this (using file URIs in the source) for this into 0.13.
(In reply to Michael Gratton from comment #1) > Will look at getting basic support for this (using file URIs in the source) > for this into 0.13. Yeah, please don't forget that. Is there a roadmap for Geary 0.13? Everytime I send emails using Gmail, the data:image/jpeg base64 hash gets populated as plain text instead of rendering the image!! Though, the rest of the signature is rendered as normal HTML. I looked into the source of my friend's messages who use Thunderbird, or Outlook signatures and I found that they handle the image as an attachment to the message and the signature just points to the attached file (kinda like how the inline images work now in Geary 0.12).
@Aness, this bug is about being able to include images FROM Geary. Not it's ability to read it as is the case with your issue. It sounds like you found a bug for which you'd need to file a separate issue.
...Not to mention the fact that this bug is only related to the signature part of Geary as well course.
Bump tickets to 0.14 that aren't going to make 0.13.
