Turn on the ‘HTML signature’ option.
Next, open the signature HTML file in your browser (e.g. Chrome or Internet Explorer).

For the signature to display correctly when sending emails you need to change the email editor type to HTML. You can do on an email by email basis or by default.
To change the editor type of an individual email click on the ‘Editor type’ drop-down and select ‘HTML’.
If you’d like to change the editor type by default, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Preferences’ > ‘Composing Messages’ and then select ‘always’ from the ‘Compose HTML messages’ drop-down. Click on ‘Save’ once you have made the change.
Your signature should then display correctly.
