Original Title: Email Signature.

Hello. So the problem I am having using Windows Live Mail 2012 for work email is that my custom email signature has social media icons with links. Once a new email message is opened, instead of the TO: box being selected to type the recipient one of the social media icons is highlighted as if to modify its appearance. Once I click on the TO: box and type who I'm sending the email to, then I can tab to the subject line. Once I tab again to type in the body of the email, the social media icon is once again highlighted. Does anyone know how to get around this or to make the icon hard coded so it can't be modified?
