        Hi,
could you find the signature file on the disk, it's somewhere in

   ~/.config/evolution/signatures/

and search the "img" tag (quotes for clarity only) and copy here all
but the "src" attributes of it, please? It should look like this:

   <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,....."
      data-uri="file:///......jpg"
      data-inline=""
      data-name="....jpg">

while that "data-inline" is important. You can setup evolution to send
messages through Outbox (Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences), then
when you send the message you can look on it before it's sent at On
This Computer/Outbox folder, which I'd like to ask you to do, to see
whether the message had been left inlined (it most likely is, thus its
"src" attribute looks the same as in the signature source, thus
   <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,....." ...>
) or whether it had been turned into an attachment, which it should, as
long as that "data-inline" exists in the signature image tag. View the
message source, or press Ctrl+U to see it.

I tried it here with 3.26.2 and it resulted in a correct message, with
image being an attachment and the "img" in the sent message looked
like:
   <img src="cid:f7f937693306abaa4a3526979a541acd8.....">

Do not forget to turn off sending through Outbox after you are done
with testing, otherwise you may send message with a delay.

By the way, we speak about sending using a SMTP server, not evolution-
ews nor evolution-mapi, right? I'm not sure, as you mentioned also
Outlook users, thus verifying.

        Bye,
        Milan
