Vista - How To: Image In Signature

03-16-2009

How can I add an image to my html signature? I have tried using the local
path of the image, but still it just displays as a blank imagebox with a red
cross.

Please help.

Create a graphic file with your signature(e.g. jpg, gif) then save the file
Create an html file with code pointing to the graphic file, save the html file
Point the signature to the html file
Configure the signature to be used for a mail and/or news account(not this one)
Create you message in WLM using Html(not plain text)

You need to upload the image to a web server and enter that address
as the path to the image.

20-30 KB is plenty of size for a picture.
Why would you need to put a file that size on the Web?

Gary VanderMolen directed me to this link to a tutorial that I found useful.

Create Image Signatures in Windows Mail or Live Mail

All I wanted to do was create an image of my signature that would be automatically included in my emails. The same process can be used for more complex images.

In following this tutorial, the first thing I did was scan my signature and create a jpg file of it. Then following the steps in Part 1, I created a html file of my signature. The first segment of Part 2 is quite straight forward but then you get to the "Fixing Windows Live Mail Signature Images" section - I had some difficulty understanding the lingo but I eventually worked through it. In point #1, it says to "Navigate to your image file with Windows Explorer" - this just means find the html file you just created - probably in a directory something like "C:\Desktop\signature.html". For item #6, right click on the file name , click on "Open with" and chose "Notepad". For item #10, the "file name" refers to the jpg file you started with initially - if it is in a different folder than your html file, the file path created by Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V will need to be changed. In my case the "file name" was "C:\Users\Howard\Documents\Signature files\Howard\Howard hand sig blue.jpg" so that is what I inserted between the quotation marks following "src=". Note that following the 'scr="....." ' there are parameters to set the width and height of your image. You can play with these until you are satisfied with the appearance of your image. One of the nice aspects of this approach is that you do not need to use an external host site.

I have never heard of Notebook.
Did you mean Notepad?
