After reading rave reviews, am testing MailMate. All good so far but...

I need to use my work email which contains both my details AND the company logo.
I'm not a Markdown or HTML type so could use help understanding IF this is possible and if so HOW I would accomplish this.

Thank you for the help.
 
I bought MailMate, and I like it. However, its primary feature is it is a plain text email client. The only problem I've had is trying to open Staples receipts.

You can use Markdown to style your email, and your email will have two parts on send: a plain text part and an HTML part. That's how an HTML email is normally structured.

(An aside: Markdown was designed by John Gruber to show marked text in an easily human-readable form and to convert those marked plain text files to HTML. One may not want to learn Markdown, even though it's easier to learn than HTML markup. Something to think about.) One of the main reasons to use MailMate is it's really standards-based and stable. Plain text can adhere to the main RFC for email, and HTML email may not.

The signatures have both plain text and HTML variants. You might have to encode your graphic in base64 (plain text) to embed it into the HTML variant. That's just a guess.
 
Signature with an image / logo linked (so if that link is not valid anymore at some point in the future, the image will not be shown):
Markdown (GitHub flavored):
![Company Logo](https://images.macrumors.com/images-new/macrumors-simple-logo-light.svg)

Signature with an image "inlined" in the email (so that the image will always be shown):
Markdown (GitHub flavored):
![Company

Notes:
– convert the logo online (use for example https://www.base64-image.de) and copy-paste the result
– this can quickly lead to large emails depending on the complexity of the logo
