You experience various problems with signatures and email layout when you send emails from mobile devices. For example, when you use a mobile device to reply to / forward a message that includes images and formatting, the layout of this message falls apart.
Solution:
When the user forwards or replies to a message, the mobile device's email client might modify the message thread, by changing the email's format and reply separators or removing some elements. This is usually done for security purposes or to reduce the size of an email. You may experience various signature-related issues, depending on the used mobile device and software. Use the links below to learn about the most common problems and recommended solutions.

Images disappear from emails when replying from iPhone or iPad
When you use an iPhone or iPad to respond to an email, images embedded in the email body disappear from the conversation. This is the default behavior in all recent versions of the iOS operating system.
Luckily, if you use software from the CodeTwo Exchange Rules family, you can bring these pictures back via a dedicated action: Restore images removed by iPhone and iPad. The action is available in CodeTwo Exchange Rules and CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro.
Email formatting is changed when using Microsoft Outlook for Android
You experience the following issue: emails replied to or forwarded via Microsoft Outlook for Android fall apart if they contain embedded pictures. For example, if an email contains a signature with images (Fig. 1., left side), then after your reply the signature layout and formatting changes (Fig. 1., right side), images get resized, etc.

This problem occurs when you reply to / forward an email in Outlook for Android and select the Load Full Message option (Fig. 2.). When the email is loaded into the body of your new message, the email's format is changed, which breaks the structure of the signature with images. This behavior is not related to CodeTwo software.

To solve this issue, do not load your messages when replying or forwarding in MS Outlook on your Android device.
Info
This issue was reported in devices running Android 5.0 and later, but earlier versions might also be affected.
Signature not displayed in an email thread in the native Mail app in iOS
You take part in an email conversation using the Mail app on your iPhone or iPad. Upon reviewing the thread in the app, you notice that your signature is missing from your responses. Yet, if you view the same thread on any other device and in any other email client, you find out that the signature is actually added by CodeTwo software in a correct way (see Ratchet and clank pc game free download. Fig. 3.).
Fig. 3. Signature missing in the Mail app (left) and displayed correctly in another email client (right) in the same email thread with 3 messages.
The issue described above may happen due to flawed implementation of message threading in the Apple's native email client in iOS. The Mail app seemingly presents your messages in a thread as the ones that have been processed by an email server. However, these are actually local copies of messages from the Sent (items) folder. In other words, these messages haven't been processed by CodeTwo services and hence stamped with a signature. That's why you are not able to see your signature.
To make matters worse, the Mail app has problems with downloading updated sent items from an email server, which may result in missing signatures as well, even though you've enabled the CodeTwo Sent Items Update (SIU) service.
The problem of missing signatures may be also related to the fact that your signature does not have its plain text version set up in the signature template editor. For more information, refer to this section.
Signatures are added to all emails except those sent from mobile devices
If signatures are not added emails sent from mobile devices but are added to all other emails, this might be caused by the lack of the Plain Text layout of your signatures.
Most mobile devices (such as those based on Android, Windows Phone, or iOS) send emails in Plain Text. That is why you need to ensure that a Plain Text signature layout is defined for each signature rule in the CodeTwo software that you use.

Tip
If you already have an HTML signature created for your rule, you can use the Convert to plain text option (Fig. 4.) available in the signature template editor of CodeTwo Exchange Rules (in CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365, you can access this option via the HTML to plain text button). Your signature will be automatically converted to plain text. You can save the changes and close the editor.

Once you have both HTML and Plain Text signature layouts defined for your rules, CodeTwo software adds an appropriate signature version to emails, depending on the device used to send them. In the case of mobile devices, plain text signatures are added. If you prefer to add HTML signatures (which look better as the HTML format offers more customization options), some CodeTwo products allow you to convert plain text emails to HTML. Read our Knowledge Base article to learn about the available options.
