Hi all,
I'm trying to use a HTML signature (image data hosted on public facing web server). I'm getting "Value 'Footer' exceeded the limit of 4095 ASCII chars". The HTML raw source is as small as I can realistically make it without sacrificing some content/formatting - is there a way around this? If not, is there a way of pointing the signature to use HTML from a file already on the internet, like an include of some sort? Many thanks, Dave.

How are you creating the signature source? We have signatures at the client level, not the server. But, the "Plain" HTML version, which uses 2 fonts in 2 different sizes each, loads an remote image, has links to 3 social media presences along with the contact data for the user, is just over 2,000 characters, even with lot's of white space. The same signature created & saved in OutLook is 40,000 characters.

At this point, I think you and I will philosophically diverge. I don't care much for excessive formatting, images, etc. in an e-mail signature. That said, I've found that older HTML syntax (<table>) to be more economical when it comes to the number of characters requires to display something than CSS.

Dave,
I've been in your shoes, so to speak.
Once you've tested your signature, try stripping out everything like white space (spaces, tabs, returns, etc.). Also, if you can shorten up path values for the various images, that will help.
Try those and let us know.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Jon
