Hello! I've added a custom signature to my email, an image that acts as a link to an online catalogue. However, this link is somehow attaching 2.5mb with every email sent as if the actual catalogue is being sent back and forth every time. Naturally this is adding up quickly and slowing down my emails. I'll attach the code here so you can see what I mean, it is merely a link embedded. Is there any way around this? The image itself is small and should be the only thing attached to these emails. Any direction with this would be great! Thank you

You didn't share the size of the image. And where is any HTML that references the image?

the code won't send properly.... I'm not sure how else to send it. I'll add some stars or something so that it doesn't automatically disappear.

Well, your problem is your image is 2.1meg, and graphic images increase somewhat when reformatted to be processed through SMTP server. If resized to 250px and converted to jpg, the size would reduce to 13k, a small fraction of the original image size. However, even at 250px, it is a large graphic to be in a sig. You may wish to consider just HTML with a touch of color and omit the graphic, as that eliminates the issue completely. Good luck.

I think you may need to preceed with and end with for all HTML to appear.
