This is a very general question regarding Apple Mail. An HTML signature is to be created for this. That worked so far. Now the customer wants a web font. As far as I know, I cannot integrate these using an inline CSS. On the other hand, I can't write a head tag in the signature either.
Is there a way to embed a web font in Apple Mail or is it not?
Web fonts work the same way in web and emails. You declare it using #font-face. The support for web fonts however is limited in emails.
The following email clients have suport for web fonts:
iOS Mail
Apple Mail
Android (default mail client, not Gmail app)
Outlook 2000
Outlook.com app
Thunderbird
All other email clients will resort to fall back fonts or the fonts coded into email clients will/might* show:
Apple Mail = Helvetica
Gmail = Arial
Microsoft Outlook* = Calibri
Hope that answers your question.

* Defaults to Times new Roman if not declared/coded properly.

For Personal knowledge management (PKM), it would be useful to be able to get a link that opens a specific email (opening in the application MAIL, more precisely). I believe this is possible for online-based email systems like gmail. Would this be possible for desktop-based applications, like MAIL (Mac)? This would facilitate a lot PKM workflows. Thanks in advance!
In emails these one sees companies using icons/ avatar showing up in email sender (without opening the email) .. similar to what favicon does in browser tabs, how do we set that up ? (see Medium, Wework. Brightalk example for below screenshot)
Most answers on the net seem to specific to Gmail and we are looking for a generic solution.
There's no standard for this. Every app has their own ideas and is often based on a proprietary or OS-specific address book.
Has anyone run into issues for HTML email development (mailchimp) where the email won't fully render in portrait mode of iphone (10.3.2)?

It renders OK on my phone, but not our tester's or client's phone (same version).
It will briefly display and then get cut off, or if you switch to landscape mode it's viewable.
I ran into this issue a few months ago and the same litmus forum helped me answer my question.
A basic breakdown from the forum is:
If you have configured email id of Outlook or Live with outlook.com or live.com domain (xyz#outlook.com or xyz#live.com), then in the Outlook App will render with the desktop in new app.
And If you have configured email id of other email clients other than outlook.com or live.com domains (xyz#gmail.com or xyz#yahoo.com or #xyz.com, etc...), then it will render with responsive layout.

Now i am not sure but i would say both of you are using similar/identical version of iOS app but different email addresses for testing.
Hope this is what you were after.
Is it possible to embed Youtube videos in email messages in Outlook or Thunderbird so that the receiver can play the video inside of Outlook or Thunderbird?
(I dont want picture with hyperlink to youtube).
Thanks for hint or tip.
You can use the embed code of Youtube. Then in Thunderbird, create an html-formatted message and go to Insert ->HTML, put your embed code there.
Most mail clients won't display anything, but some may do it. Thunderbird itself will not show it.
You can use third-party services like viwomail to generate a HTML template of your mail. They will do things like generating GIF/images(to be used in cases when email clients don't allow videos to play).
Next, you can use services like Sendinblue to send HTML email.
Some of the email clients do not allow videos strictly. However, Apple mail client, outlook 16(only on MAC), Samsung native email app and some other clients do work for me.
Is there an build in feature that provides sharing multiply types like text and image to other applications? All i found was sharing only text or only images to the build in mail application of windows 8.
Want to send an E-Mail were the subject, text and attachment is preset.
From my experience, the current build of Mail (Release Preview) simply won't do it. If you have an attachment, it ignores the subject and text. Look like we're going to have to wait for RTM or test with another email client.
UPDATE: AFAIK, this is still the case even after RTM. The Mail client simply can't handle both a message body and an attachment.
