Subject: HTML Signature being re-interpreted.
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Notes 8 Client
Technical Area: Functionality
Platform: Windows XP client
Release: 8.0.2
Reproducible: Always

I am trying to use an HTML signature through Notes, however it looks like it is interpreting the HTML that I am providing and then not sending as the HTML I have written.

There is gonna be a bit of code here, so I will write the rest up here and leave the code for last.
When I send via Notes, it appears to re-interpret the code and it as it wants to.
When I send via Thunderbird, I am able to get it to send exactly what I included in the HTML signature, in turn making a very nice looking signature back in Notes.

To reiterate, when sent from Thunderbird and opened in Notes, the message is fully readable and this code is interpreted correctly.
When I forward a message with this signature, it is forwarded correctly.

I would like to get this signature onto my account without copying it from a forwarded message.

Is there something that I am missing as far as setting up Notes to properly handle passthrough html?
I was under the impression that a signature HTML file was *always* passthrough html, but perhaps I am mistaken there.

Thank you very much for your assistance
~Tyson Edwards
