Hi Sarah,
Great speaking earlier today. As promised, I have attached our infrastructure roadmap and SOC2 compliance package for your technical review.
Let me know if Thursday afternoon works for a brief walk-through with our systems engineering team.
Best regards,

Why Standard Signature Generators Break in Gmail
Gmail is the world's most widely used email client, but its HTML parser has rigid limitations. Here is how we engineer around every one of them.
No 102KB Truncation
Gmail clips messages exceeding 102KB, replacing footers with '[Message clipped]'. Generic generators paste bloated base64 data URIs. SigSignature hosts assets on a global CDN, delivering lightweight signatures under 6KB.
Zero Blue Underlines
Mobile Gmail forcibly injects browser default blue link underlines on phone numbers and addresses. SigSignature injects inline anchor overrides so your exact brand color palette is strictly preserved.
Mobile Font Protection
Gmail mobile strips <style> blocks in the <head> and bumps sub-13px text up to 14px, causing layouts to collapse. We compile inline CSS on every single cell with robust system fallback stacks.
Dark Mode Contrast
Gmail on mobile inverts background tones automatically, which can wash out text or turn transparent dark logos into invisible voids. Our templates incorporate contrast-protective bounds.
How to Add Your HTML Signature to Gmail in 60 Seconds
Follow these simple step-by-step instructions to install your new professional signature across desktop, mobile, or company-wide Google Workspace.
Copy formatted signature in SigSignature
Design your signature, then click 'Copy Signature'. SigSignature pipes formatted HTML directly to your clipboard using the browser's native text/html MIME type.
Open Gmail Settings
Open Gmail in Chrome, Safari, or Edge. Click the Gear icon (⚙) in the top right corner and click 'See all settings'.
Navigate to the Signature section
Under the General tab, scroll down to the 'Signature' block. Click '+ Create new' and name your signature (e.g., 'Work Signature').
Paste into the signature editor
Click inside the rich-text editing box and press Ctrl + V (Windows) or Cmd + V (Mac). Your logo, fonts, social icons, and links will paste with 100% fidelity.
Set signature defaults
Directly beneath the text box under 'Signature defaults', select your newly created signature for both 'For new emails use' and 'On reply/forward use'.
Save changes
Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click 'Save Changes'. Compose a new message to confirm your signature appears automatically.
Gmail-Certified Email Signatures
Every template is pre-compiled to comply with Gmail's rendering engine out of the box.
