I'm having a problem with Mac Mail.

I'm trying to get a HTML signature to work. I make the HTML and open in Safari, click "File" -> "Mail Contents of this page" and it opens it in mac mail in a new email. Here is what I get:

So far so good. So now I want to cope that and paste it into my email signature. So I select all, copy and paste into the signature:

Here it looks ok, but when I save it (e.g. click onto another signature and back onto this one) the formatting automatically breaks:
