Outlook 2016 HTML Signature

I'm trying to add an HTML E-Mail signature to Outlook 2016 for macOS. The method that got me closest to my goal is documented here:

This approach works perfect when I add the signature in Outlook Web Access (owa). As to say the recipient sees the signature formatted as intended and the image is downloaded from a external server. Also the message shows no attachment clip in the inbox of whatever E-Mail client.

But when I add the signature to Outlook for Mac (Version 15.36) the embedded image is being downloaded before sending a E-Mail and gets included as an attachment. So the message does show an attachment clip in the inbox of whatever E-Mail client.

Does anybody experience same issues? Has someone found a solution/work around?

Outlook works best with a restricted version of HTML for the signature, so if you can't use the webmail signature generator and copy / paste that into your Mac Outlook - look for a third party tool to assist.

One that works well is this utility from the App Store. It fixes the problem with Outlook breaking HTML signature. Costs about USD 3 though but for me it's worth it.
