Description Relebogile Chiloane 2016-02-20 17:06:27 UTC 
I have decided to include my business logo 225x30 into my signature. When I send an email to my personal email and receive it under evolution the logo displays but not on my the gmail web client and also not on gmail for android. I have tested the logo in both .gif and .png format and to no avail. The person I got the idea from uses a .gif logo. I only compose under HTML and not plain text.
Am I missing something or it's an unnoticed bug in evolution mail? Thanks

Hi,
can you please write some test message that will contain your signature, export it (right click on message and "Save as mbox" option) and attach it here? If you don't want to share it here you can send it to my address.

Fixed with the following commit:

    Bug 762376 - Embedded images in signature only displays under evolution and
                 not other clients
    
    The main problem is that the GMail does not support base64 images. This is
    not a problem for Evolution as it is using them just for the Drafts and
    Templates. But there was a problem with the signatures as when they were
    saved the images inside them were left in the base64 format, but the
    data-inline attribute was removed from them. This later prevented the
    composer to correctly handle them.
    
    To avoid this issue change how the signatures are saved in the Signature
    editor. Save them in the same way as the Drafts and don't try to process
    them when saving them, but when the message with the given signature is
    being send. This could also fix issues with editing a signature once it is
    in the body.

commit cca2aa2 in the master branch for Evolution 3.19.91+

to fix the issue for you, please open the signature in the editor, press Ctrl + Shift + I and manually add the data-inline attribute to the SPAN element with the image element and save the signature.
