Html signature
« on: September 26, 2015, 05:16:57 am »

The reason is quite simple:
Because AquaMail is supported by a sole developer. Behind AquaMail is a one man team: development, support, bug fixes, new features, all of it.
You can imagine that it takes time to develop and to manage everything alone.

Whatever you create in AquaMail rich text editor will be sent as HTML (obviously).

So perhaps you've asking -- if you can paste arbitrary HTML code developed somewhere else -- no, there is no such thing in AquaMail (and as far as I know, there is no such feature in Thunderbird or Outlook on "big" computers, either).

Or maybe you're asking -- why isn't AquaMail's rich text editor as full featured in terms of formatting capabilities as that in Thunderbird or Outlook -- there is no good answer, maybe @mikeone's is the one that comes closest.

I'm using Aquamail on 2 Android devices, one a tablet running android 5.1.0 and the other one a Samsung smartphone Running Kit Kat. I haven't been able to find anywhere the instructions on how to use the rich text editor, please let me know.

I understand from these forms that HTML is not supported. My question is: will the rich text editor allow for both information (name phone numbers email address etc.) as well as a logo of my company?

HTML is supported, that's what the Rich Text Editor is for.  What is not supported is insertion of pre-generated HTML code.  You must let AquaMail's editor create its own code.

I use AquaMail to send email for both my business and my wife's business, with company logos and clickable links in signature text.

You can enable HTML globally by default:
AquaMail Settings > Rich vs plain text > Select desired mode
...or while composing mail or a signature by tapping on 'Switch to Rich text' at the top of the composition window.  You'll get an editor toolbar with icons for inserting images, etc.

If your question is about including that information in the default signature, it looks like you cannot include any images there, text only.
But you can include images, including your logo in the message itself, as described by crashdamage.

Personal comment: I hate when people include image files in the e-mail signature especially while everything else in the message is just text. In my books, that's a bad style. But as many bad habits, it's contagious.

@StR: 
I put a logo in my business signature because it's required, I have no choice.

I put one in my wife's business signature because she likes it.  And know better than to say no.

But I hear ya...

@StR
However, it is also possible to insert images in signatures:
> switch to "Rich text" > swipe the "Rich text bar" from right to left to show the image button > to adjust the image size tap on the inserted image > in the Selection window there are also options to align the image.

False and honestly kind of insulting that you lie and treat  users as dumb...

Both Thunderbird and Outlook accept pregenerated HTML as signatures, with even inline style CSS.

Today I was looking for this feature in Aquamail because I need to put a base64 encoded image in my signature.

@riahc3
Thank you for posting in this 16 months old thread.

BTW:
Kostya's remark "(and as far as I know, there is no such feature in Thunderbird or Outlook on "big" computers, either)" was merely a presumption - but not an assertion.

So, what is your intention for such an offensive post against the developer

In addition to that: AquaMail is a really, really "small" app, designed for a mobile device, not a powerful PC / Mac desktop application like Thunderbird or Outlook.

It would be interesting, whether 'Outlook for Android' (the app - not the desktop application) offers this functionalityb I'm not aware of this.

@riahc3:  Sorry to say this, but don't you think your response is a bit rude? ... even if you are correct on the technical aspect. As @mikeone mentioned already, that was a parenthetical remark, clearly labeled as not being 100% certain.

Besides, 16 months ago, those programs might or might not had that ability. (Have you actually checked that [i.e. how it was 16 months ago] prior to the accusations?)

More than 99% 98.765% of Aquamail users would not understand what you are trying to do, and less than 0.123% would be able to generate such an html code themselves.  If you were a developer of a program for a broad user base, would you consider implementing the feature just for that (especially while there are features pending that would cover a much large audience)?

In 2015, Outllok/Thunderbird could so it as well.

If my reply was rude, that wasn't my intention. What I did find rude was that there are posts here saying it can't be done when it can.
