That does not appear to be possible with the current Fastmail web user interface.

You can create the chunk of the email using any html editor, then paste it into the email.
Also, most browsers nowadays allow you to right click any element in the page, and then edit the html. so you can right click the text of the email in the compose screen, select the proper action (usually "inspect"), select the node containing the email text or the relevant part of the test, select "edit html" and just enter whatever code you want there, such as an img tag. But then, many email viewers will hide the image by default, so your recipients might not see it if they don't manually allow their client to download and show the image. |

Can an image file be added to a signature file so that it will automatically appear when you send an email? Or do you have to upload the image file each time?

FM signatures help page also describes this https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/a...te-a-signature I use images which I store in a FM Files folder. I assign links to the images and use these links when I insert and image into the signature. You can then put external links onto these images. Eg you can place a twitter symbol in a folder and load that image in your signature, and then place your twitter handle link on that image. Quick update; When such an email is received, email clients like Outlook will give an option to download the inserted images in an email. Last edited by gardenweed : 2 Jun 2022 at 11:50 AM.
