I worked at a company, several years ago, that mandated the use of a signature

I get that some companies do that. I take issue with referring to my current
and past employers as not being "official" companies. Two of my last three
employers are multi-national, and I'm sure my current one is one everyone here
has heard of. Before that I've worked for numerous companies that at the very
least spanned the country or had a worldwide presence. But hey, I guess if you
don't require graphics in you're e-mail, you're not official, even if you are
publicly traded or widely considered one of the best companies to work for.
Some companies know how to post-process the e-mail and add that sort of thing
on through their mail servers. They're the same ones that tack on other
messages about privacy when they get processed.
But in the world of mobile, where every bit costs money, signatures with
graphics eat up extra bandwidth and it is far more responsible to not require
such things of your employees. And just because your employer may require the
use, doesn't mean your favorite e-mail client is required to support it.
Mobile e-mails should be more concise. And receivers should be more forgiving
of typos and the like. My expectation is shorter e-mails, less precise.
In the time I've been on this forum, I've seen this and related questions
(html in signatures, images in signatures, etc) asked numerous times and I've
not once seen a developer address it indicating it's a feature anyone is going
to work on. I would suspect you'll get more traction with Kaiten, a commercial
branch of K-9. I believe it supports rich text e-mails so maybe you can do
what you want in the signature field.
K-9 is open source. Maybe the company you work for can fork their own branch
and force HTML signatures on the world.
But hey, I'm not a developer, I just take advantage of the wonderful product
the developers of K-9 have created.
