I know how to add an image to my Gmail signature, but unless I'm mistaken, this image will not be included as an attachment and thus has to be externally hosted. Newer mail clients don't load external images by default, so my company would like everyone to use inline images. For those of us that use Gmail as God intended, in a Chrome browser, and not via Outlook, how can we create a signature that includes an inline image?

Google recently announced support for rich text in signatures. That means you can now configure the font family, size and color, as well as insert images into the signature. Just go to your gmail settings and you'll find it right there, no need to enable as a lab feature or anything! It's possible it hasn't been expanded to Google Apps for your domain yet, in which case it should be coming pretty soon.

Your SPF and DKIM records need to be setup in the DNS for your domain.
Google provides these steps for creating the record: To create an SPF record for a domain:
Log in to the administrative console for your domain.
Locate the page from which you can update the DNS records. You may need to enable advanced settings.
Create a TXT record containing this text: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
Publishing an SPF record that uses -all instead of ~all may result in delivery problems. See Google IP address ranges for details about the addresses for the Google Apps mail servers.
If your registrar also requires a host setting (such as @), see the TXT records for specific domain providers list for precise instructions.
Save your changes. Keep in mind that changes to DNS records may take up to 48 hours to propagate throughout the Internet.

You can keep a draft ready with the signature to be used as a template every time you want to send a message (time consuming). Wisestamp will also use external hosted images (feature already in Gmail).
Considering all this, using a mail client is the only option if you want to use inline images in signature.
