Outlook v15.20 - signature now has image embedded not a link

This is a double post as I'm not sure that I posted in the OficeInsider area before.

This update seems to have screwed up my signature. Until now my signature had one image that was not embedded but a link. Now this behaviour seemed to have changed and the image is embedded in the message. Can we have the old behaviour restored?

    Hello,

    After speaking with someone on the Outlook team, they provided me with the following information:

    Linking to images for signatures is supported in the current version, however you need to use an Applescript to add the signature link to Outlook. The script will need to launch Outlook and add the signature directly to the signature preferences.

    If you would like an example version of this script that references the Microsoft logo, let me know and I can send you a direct message here on the forums with the script file.

    So that's me turned off my signature. I made the damn things and I'm now one of the people who are unable to use it.

    Having this happen is just unacceptable and the fact it's been happening for 18 months is appalling.

    oh yeah, meant to add, the 15.19 trick doesn't work anymore as 15.19 is blocked from installing on High Sierra :(

    Will need to look into Sigstr. Thanks for the direction. 

    As far as the downgrade, set, upgrade workflow, what we've found is that all references to a current Outlook install must be removed prior to reverting/installing v19. From there, you can paste in your HTML signature, and it properly uses it Ex: pulls images from server rather than embedding and utilizes proper height/width attributes, renders any fonts correctly.

    You can NOT however modify the signature after upgrading past v19 without succumbing to the embed issue, and rendering issues. Once you set it at v19 thats it. Your stuck. Definitely not a best-use scenario or really even practical, however it's what we're currently doing for our Mac install base. You can however upgrade other Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel.  Just not Outlook.
