I’m trying to use an html email signature that pulls the html from another

  • 0

I’m trying to use an html email signature that pulls the html from another site. So, imagine I have the html hosted at blahblah.com/blah.html, and blah.html is:

<html>
<body>
Jon Jones
jon@blahblah.com
</body>
</html

And then my html signature would be something like <embed src="blahblah.com/blah.html/> that way I can manipulate the signature without having to constantly change the actual signature in Outlook (which I use to check my email).

I can’t figure out any html that will do what I’m trying to do. The embed tag that I posted above doesn’t do the trick. What simple line of html can I use to say “display what you find at blahblah.com/blah.html”

    I would venture a guess and say this isn’t the best way to do this.

    From a security standpoint, I wouldn’t want to be viewing any email sent by you that also brings in somesite.com/signature.htm. Even if it did, it would invoke a “click to view linked elements in this email” banner, and hide it until I did so (but chances are I’m not clicking).

    From a recipient stand point, some spam filters block emails with externally-linked content (your intended recipient may not even get your email, or (best-case) see it with [spam] in the subject line.)

    If you want an easy up-keep, you could place the signature in your my documents/some other folder and link to it via outlook’s settings, but that about the least intense method (while also not causing concerns or issues to anyone viewing your email.)
