So, I have created an email signature and am testing it in Thunderbird. I am using thunderbird because they provide the easiest way of testing new signatures (just paste and go.)
However, I am finding that after I REPLY sometimes the images show up IN the email itself as
<my-image-name.gif> or sometimes they show up as
<mime-attachment.png>
This only happens on a reply, BUT it does show up this way on both the iPhone and Thunderbird.. Initially everything looks fine.
No, none of the images are missing. As mentioned, the signature looks great on initial send.
Wondering is there any meta-data info. I need to put in the beginning of the signature besides <html><body>? I think the email programs are jacking with the html in the signature. Is there a way to prevent it? Or is it something else entirely going on here?

I have a heavily modified Rainloop install. Figured out a lot of ways to modify it, but having the following issue:
Rainloop shows a DKIM signature indicator (with it's own interpretation) as a green checkmark.
If you hover your mouse pointer over it (when shown), it will show a "tool-tip" of the text in that header.
The problem here is, on mobile you can't "hover", generally speaking. How can I access the header data via JS, or how can I talk to the element for the "tool-tip" for the DKIM header info so I can put a click-listener on the indicator?
It's nice they show it on the mouse-over, but I can't seem to find any way to reference it.
In addition, it would be really grand to show that info in the "info" expandable box.
This is all pertaining to the Message View in Rainloop specifically.
Really nice program. But there is no documentation on their API.
Anyone have ideas on this? I can't seem to get a handle on it through devtools.
If I could just get a solid CSS selector to reference it by that would be grand.
All I seem to be coming up with on searches are similar expressions.
Hoping maybe someone on Stack might have found a clue on this, because DKIM is important, and ordinary users need simple indications as to trust.
This is something to help other people, not just me, so if anyone has a way can you share?
Okay. So right after I posted, I did find it. Not sure how I missed it before, but the dkim results header data can be found in the "dkim icon"'s title attribute-- the "icon" is an tag (rainloop hijacks the tag as UTF8 icon containers).
So the tooltip apparently is an actual tooltip, whereas I thought it was something like a hidden div being shown on a mouse-over.
I wonder if there is a way to get it to show on a click instead of a hover (preferably using CSS).
The question I am asking is a little bit abstract, so I will try to make it more clear. There are websites where you sign up and get a signature in the format of an image. It has a general format, say a few boxes that are empty, and a logo in the middle. Now, say you gain the "Overachiever" badge, which looks like a pen. You signature is then updated, automatically, to include that pen badge in one of the blank boxes. I am completely clueless as to how to do this, and in what language to do this is, so can anyone help? I have been thinking about PHP as an option, but I do not know if that would work. Any suggestions?
You can do this with PHP (imagecreate) and for the updates in your images you can use cronjobs.
Is this for a forum? Depending on the platform, I know some hosts already have "addon's" that provide similar functionality to what you're after. (Karma addons etc.)
Maybe one of these will help? phpBB has some stuff like that.

If you can execute an external process, you can do this using Image Magick.
What I am trying to figure out how to do is, when I send a regular text message through my iPhone's built in text messaging app, how can I hard-code a text message (signature) to be displayed after my text message I write to someone?
Example:
I launch my text messaging app, and I want to send a text to someone named John.
I then type the following to John in the text field: "Hello John, how are you?"
After I press the send button, I see the standard bubble, but below my text I sent to John is my hard coded signature.
So it sent my original text as well as my hard coded signature to John. So what exactly do I need to do "code wise" in order to accomplish this? Example code would be great if possible.
Thanks
It's not a perfect solution—iOS doesn't allow you to automate the sending of text messages (to prevent spamming and/or junk messages). However, you can present an interface through MFMessageComposeViewController.
In this class there is a body property. By setting an NSString to that property, you can present existing text. Of course the user would still work around that, and could delete it—that is something you have no control over, for UX reasons.
I am using XML Parsing in one of my apps. I have not done this before but I observed something weird (or may be now) today. I am trying to locate a business on in my app and their googlemaps link is obviously big
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1001+Fannin+Street,+Houston,+TX&aq=0&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=36.999937,73.476563&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1001+Fannin+St,+Houston,+Harris,+Texas+77002&z=16.
Every time I load using this link the app crashes. However if I change the link to something like :
http://maps.google.com/?saddr=0000+FM+0000+RD+Houston+TX+77000
the app loads perfectly and works perfect.
I know this is not a problem in my app as I am using this just for reference to something else and not loading the addr in google maps app (as this works with the big link). So I am concluding that there is something wrong in the way I am writing it in my XML.
Please do not direct me to any tools and stuff that shorten the link etc. as I dont want to get in to that. I am sure that I am messing up somewhere in my basics so if some1 tells me what are the basics behind this.
Thank you,
Well if the top link is in XML and hasn't had its ampersands escaped you'll not have well formed XML.

Is it possible to create a hyperlink in an sms in an iPhone?
For example, if I want the word 'foo' hyperlinked in HTML then I'll write foo in a normal situation.
If I want to have a certain word in my sms to be hyperlinked to something, is there any way I can do this? Like "I have a surprise for you" and the receiver taps on the hyperlinked word 'surprise' which will take the user to the destined page.
Any suggestions as to how this can be done? Examples and samples welcome!
Thanks in advance :)
No, you cannot use html tags in sms / text messages. All you can do is insert the URL without the tag. It then depends on the receivers device whether the URL is presented to the user as link or as plain text.
I experimented with exactly this just yesterday. It seems you can't include a nicely formatted hyperlink, unfortunately. I hope to be proven wrong by somebody else, though :-)
However, as you've probably seen yourself, iPhone is able to recognize an URL and you can tap on it to open the URL in Safari (or tap the disclosure button next the message to get more options on what to do with the URL). As far as I can tell the only thing you can do is format your SMS accordingly: "I have a surprise for you: http://foo.com" even though that might spoil the surprise ;-)
No, you can't do this due to privacy issues. Apple thinks that giving you this ability would allow you to link users to malware and such. Sorry!
i don't think it's possible to create hyperlinks in SMS.
The only way is to send an URL, and the iPhone will convert it to a link...
Use a tiny url from tinyurl.
It doesn't allow you to do exactly what you are wanting but it at least can be used to cover up the long link.
This is the closest thing I figure out to do. I was wanting to use the "
No, you can not do this. However you could use tinyurl and format it like this

Web browsers usually ignore anything before an # therefore you could effectively hide the actual site being linked to, as long as your friend does not know that.
What actually happens is the data before the # is submitted to the web site in the form username:password. However it must be a site that requires authentication to access, or the site will normally just ignore it.
If this helps, I've noticed that a custom hyperlink is possible on the OS X Messages app, but they have to be copied and pasted. To replicate this right click on a hyperlink in your browser and hit copy link. Then paste into Messages.
Uhhh this is possible here is a screenshot of an example - I copied a link from email and pasted in a new SMS - though it appears you cannot type html to create a link....
