I’ve been using the Mail app on the mac often these days, and I wanted a way to imbed images for a custom signature I had in mind, but adding a signature through the normal way does not allow much functionality other than the normal font, color, and some minor text effects.
Luckly, through some digging I was able to find this blog. Follow the necessary steps and you can have images in your signature as well. Along with any CSS you want to add.

Copy (apple+c) the item you’d like and then from the Share Screen menu select Edit > Send Clipboard. Then in Share Screen simply paste (apple+v).
I found it handy if you just want to copy text between both computers, but any thing you can send to the Clipboard should work.

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png" type="image/png" />
