Outlook Express Question

[dizneenut]

Is there a way to add a graphic for your signature in OE???

Yes, I think so. I've never taken the time to figure it out though. Maybe someone can teach us both.

I normally use Outlook at both work and home but I opened Outlook Express and here is what it looks like to me.

Your signature can either be a text file or an HTML file. You can put an image (even an animated gif) in your signature by making up an HTML file and using it as your signature. For example, you could copy the code that you have for your DIS signature into a file on your computer, say "signature.html". Just like in your signature on the DIS any images that are referenced have to be located on a web page somewhere.

In OE go to Tools / Options.

On the Send tab make sure that HTML is selected for Mail Sending Format.

On the Signatures tab, first hit New. Then under Edit Signature select File and then hit Browse. When the "Open" window comes up, in the drop down box at the bottom, labeled "Files of Type:" select HTML files. Search your system for the file you created above(e.g. "signature.html") and hit "Open". Then at the top of the Signature page, check the box beside "Add signatures to all outgoing messages". Click Ok at the bottom and that should do it.

<font color=navy>Um, I just hit copy & paste, and that works for me.

Like Bob said, when you're in the Inbox, go to Tools and Options. Click on Mail format, and choose HTML. Once you've done that you can either paste an image in your email (if it's supported like .jpg or .gif) or you can insert a picture from your computer. You do that by going up to Insert, then choose picture... from file. You can browse through your folders for the appropriate photo (I use animated gifs, and they work fine).

To create a signature with a gif, go to Tools, Options, Mail Format, and then choose the button for signature picker. You can create a signature with pictures. I have different ones I use.

Let us know if you need more help.
