It will do that. Any ideas are most welcome, I couldn't immediately
think of a good solution. After all, how do you know that
<signature.jpg> is *your* signature.jpg and not someone else's? If I was
setting it up for a lot of people, I would always use the same filename
in the HTML to make it easier to configure for different people.
The only thing I could think of is to walk the entire MIME tree looking
for images, and check their size (and even contents?) against the
signature image you're trying to add. If you find it, try to point the
signature at it. But what do you then do, start editing the HTML
signature automatically? Eek :-(
Lightweight solutions are most welcome. In the mean time the 0.01%
(approx) of internet traffic that is email will have to be slightly more
than it might be otherwise. It's a way to go before it reaches the
amount of Bit-Torrent traffic :-)
