Manage Email Signatures Centrally - For All Users

skeg64

Hi,

We have just installed eMailSignature 7.3 on our network. I noticed that the registry modification that is supposed to be deployed to allow linked images is not working (images are always embedded).

Do you think this could be a permissions problem? i.e. sign.exe runs as User, and the user does not have permission to edit the registry?

We are using Outlook 2007 with both Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 users.

Is there a fix for this issue?

Thanks

Please note that latest version is 7.5 - Upgrading from version 7.3 is very easy.

You must upgrade to be ready for Windows 7 (and Outlook 2010).

Re. your linked images.
I'm not sure which registry you refer to - please explain as linked images simply link to a URL on your web site where the image reside.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry, yes it is 7.5.

I am referring to the registry change as mentioned here:

and here:
http://www.emailsignature.eu/phpBB2/how-do-i-stop-outlook-from-attaching-images-into-my-email-t397.html

This registry change is required to allow Outlook 2007 to send linked images.

Those are old articles from 2007 and 2008 - referring to outlook 2007 - and before Outlook 2010 was released.

Using eMailSignature 7.5, embedded images works out of the box.

Does this work for you?

We are using Outlook 2007 and want to have linked images.

Jesper Frier

I think I got it now Smile

The option to change whether Internet images will be linked instead of embedded in a message can only be change via the Registry in Outlook 2007 (and Outlook 2010).

HKCU registry key Outlook 2007:

Hi Jesper,

Yes, it works if I edit the registry directly. However, I understood that eMailSignature was supposed to make this change upon deployment, as mentioned here: http://www.emailsignature.eu/phpBB2/how-do-i-stop-outlook-from-attaching-images-into-my-email-t397.html

The issue is eMailSignature is not making the registry change.

It seems that the HKCU setting is no longer working after upgrading to eMailSignature 7.
As you are the first to ask specifically for linked images - we did not know.

I have listed your request as a feature request.
