Vista - Images in my signature & Minimize to system tray

12-26-2007

How do I put images in my signature?
All I can do is write text.

And how do I minimize WLM to the system tray and let it work in the
background?

thank you!

You have to create an HTML document. If you Google it, you'll find several
tutorials on how to create signatures for e-mail. If you need any help,
just ask.

I don't use HTML signatures, so I don't have a ready answer. You probably
need image tags, and almost certainly need to include the image in the sig
file.

The next time that you open WLM, right click on the envelope icon in the
Notification Area, and select the option to "Hide window when inbox is
minimized". The next time you use the "-" minimize button in the upper right
corner of the WLM window, WLM will run minimized, and the icon will only be
in the Notification Area.

BTW, this is the *proper* way to do it, not the *IM* way (which is to
minimize to the Notification Area on "X" close; that *should*, properly,
*CLOSE* the application. That is what "close" means!

A HTML signature file needs to be less than 4 Kb.
A signature file is no different than any other HTML file. Images are
referenced, but not actually in the HTML file.

Here's the HTML code you need. Just open Notepad and copy/paste it.

<html>
<head>

</head>

<body>

<img src="PUT THE PATH TO YOUR IMAGE HERE!">

</body>
</html>

Plug in the path to your image, save it as an HTML file and you're ready to
go. Then click on Tools/Options/Signatures. When that dialog box opens,
select if you want it to be added to ALL outgoing e-mails or the other
option, to not include the signature on replies and forwards, however you
want to do it. Click on NEW and then on Rename to rename it if you so
desire. Then at the bottom, click the "File" radio button and then Browse
to the HTML file you just saved and select it. Then click on Apply then OK
and open a new e-mail message. Put in the recipients e-mail address, type
in a subject. If you have selected to add your signature to ALL outgoing
e-mails, the signature will already be there. If you did not check that
option, with the cursor in the message text area, click on Insert (this is
on the toolbar at the top) then click on Signature and if you only have the
one signature, it will be added to your e-mail.

If you have any problems or questions, just ask.

Well, yes, but, the image *should* be a part of the message sent, otherwise
you are referencing a server source for the image. Many email clients block
calls to remote servers.

Thanks for clearing up your statement.
It would have been clearer if you had written "include the image with the
sig file" instead of "include the image in the sig file".
