| | Insert a jpg file into a signature I recently purchased my business card in a jpg file so I can use it in an automated signature. I do Tools>Options>Signatures>File>Browse and insert the file with my e-card. When I go to create a new email, all that appears instead of my card is ÿØÿÃ*. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? |

| | RE: Insert a jpg file into a signature Copy the following HTML file and give it a meaningful name with an extension of HTML. Edit it with your personal details and save it. In Windows Mail go to Tools > Options > Signatures Tab > New > File at the bottom and Browse to the full path name of your HTML file, then apply/OK your way out. Make sure you save the code and the image in the same folder. You can look at it offline but it is best to send an email to yourself to make sure it looks correct. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Signature</TITLE> </HEAD> <table width="100%" border=0 cellpadding=15 cellspacing=0> <tr> <BR><BR> <HR> <td valign=top width="14%" align=left> <TABLE width="100" border=0> <img src="C:\my pics\mypic.jpg"> <B><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size=2 color=blue> <TR><TD> </table> <td valign=top width="86%"> <B><font face="brush script" color=blue size=5> Jean and William Smith<BR> <font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" color=black size=2> Email us: name@xxxxxx<BR> or you can use our Hotmail, Paltalk,<BR> Messenger or Teveo addresses/Id's<BR> Website: www.yourwebsite.co.uk </font></B> </body> </html> "Gina" wrote: Quote: > I recently purchased my business card in a jpg file so I can use it in an > automated signature.

| | RE: Insert a jpg file into a signature Thanks for the suggestion, but when I copy all that file below your email and try to paste it in a folder, it won't let me. What program am I supposed to be doing the editing in? I have my card already in a jpg, I was hoping I could just insert that and my card will appear below where my signature used to.....any ideas about that?

| | Re: Insert a jpg file into a signature How big is the JPG file? If it's bigger than about 4 KB, Windows Mail won't let you use it as a signature file directly. Also, are the messages you're trying to add this signature to in the Rich Text (HTML) format? If not, you're likely to have trouble using a JPG file as a signature.
