I first download the type mail and looks like worked well. Only issue is that on the pc I can put Facebook, Twitter, youtube etc. Logo Links so when customer click on either on will take them to that page directly or to click on logo and takes them to website. Is that option available yet and if you may happen to know what apps can take care of it? Aquamail? I hope you will figure out what I meant. Even this is great start and 100 thanks!

Ok, I think you're saying that you installed AquaMail. And I'm assuming that you have added the email account you want to do a logo in the signature. It's really like doing it on a computer. Follow these steps:

1. Have the logo file copied to your phone.
2. Open AquaMail and long-press on the account title bar.
3. Select Special settings > Options and folders > Composing and sending > Signature.
4. A box will open, select Switch to rich text at the top.
5. Scroll the toolbar all the way to the right and tap on the little photo icon.
6. A box opens to navigate to the location of the logo file. Find and select it.
7. Add your signature text and save the signature.
8. Select the option to Add signature automatically in outgoing email.

Remember, the logo file must stay on the phone and in the same location for this to work.

#5. In the box that opens to enter your signature, there's a toolbar across the top where you choose fonts, colors, etc.

Grab the toolbar and drag it all the way left, so you see the right end. The last icon on the right end is the little photo icon.

Tap on it and browse to the logo file you saved on the phone. Select it to add it to the signature. Then add text and save the signature.

So, I take it that you created a signature with logo successfully?

Yes I did but I have not used the aquamail instead I use type mail app since to me is less confusing.

Now hopefully someone will come up with what I mentioned before to create link under image or logo so once someone click on the logo will take him directly to logo website as well Facebook twitter youtube etc. But it's good start and hopefully they will add this options like on the pc.

I understand why you choose Type. It's a less capable app than AquaMail, but that makes it simpler too.

But I need the functionality of AquaMail, and once you take the time to learn at least some of all the tricks it can do, you don't want to use anything else again.

You can create links to websites, twitter, whatever, by copying the address and pasting it into your signature.

Ok, I figured out how make a clickable hyperlink in an image or text using AquaMail. It's very simple once you figure it out. Dang...I love AquaMail, it will do just about anything. I don't have Type Mail installed, but likely if Type has the capability to do this, it will be similar steps.

After inserting the image, just tap on the image. A pop-up box opens and the first choice at the top is 'Set web link'. Tap on that and another box opens for adding a web address. Type it in, tap ok and you are good.

Type Mail might do it too, but what the heck, AquaMail is only $5 anyway. Been worth it to me.

This trick for making clickable hyperlinks in images, etc works in signatures you create and in the body of the email. Pretty cool how simple it is to do. It's not documented in the FAQs, you gotta just figure it out. I knew how to do it on a computer but had never tried on a mobile email client.

An image in HTML is

<img src="link to picture posted on a server somewhere" />

Problem. Not all email programs decode HTML. One that doesn't will just show the above text, not the picture. There's nothing you can do from your end to change that.

Some email programs just ignore HTML. That link will show as a blank line.

Some people, using real filtering, delete any email with HTML. I don't talk to people who send me HTML in the body (if they're sending me something for me to look at the HTML, they'll attach it in a file), so I know it's spam, so it gets deleted before I even see it. POPFile will do that after a month or so of having anything with HTML in the body set as spam.

Rule of thumb - don't put anything in an email but letters, numbers and punctuation. Every email program will show your email the way you sent it.

Pretty pictures are nice - save them for your print ads and websites.

Just would like to update what I have done. I got aquamail paid app. I did the text I want than Below follow us on Twitter, Facebook, youtube, hooz google+ and yes I fid put each of it as a small logos and link with social media. Also on the bottom I added my company logo and linked with my website.
I tested with Gmail, exchange, yahoo and few more emails and worked well reply came same with the way I sent with linked icons for social media.
What I tested with my wife iPhone stock email when reply icons will not come only long links without icons/images for social media. So looks like ios is not work well when reply back to me but received as I send with icons on the bottom and normally if you click will take you for assigned page but reply came links only for each.
I hope down the road will be somehow fixed or compatible

Some email clients or mail systems strip out images in replies, mainly to save bandwidth. Also with the idea being that they've been seen and are not necessary.

Just to be clear, the original test emails to her iPhone did display correctly, only the replies from it had images stripped, correct?

As for what Rukbat said, I absolutely agree with him - in principle. But...well, read my post #4 in this thread:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/497183-how-do-i-insert-photos-into-email-note-4-a.html

If like Rukbat I filtered all the html email we received, my business would go broke, my wife's business would go broke, and we would miss most of our emailed notices for bills due and stuff.
