Vista - Signature

Windows Mail.

I have been trying to insert a signature which includes a logo into messages
for one of my e-mail accounts. No matter where I place the html file (built
using Frontpage) holding the signature and graphic, the graphic will not
show in the message. Just the horrible red 'x' below the text. Clicking the
blank, I can insert the graphic manually but I can't believe this is right.

Can anyone help?

TIA

the obvious questions

have you selected HTML as sending format.
did you check the option to include pictures.

have you checked the boxes in the signature options to include the sig.


and is the sig smaller than 4k.

"have you selected HTML as sending format" - Yes
"have you checked the boxes in the signature options to include the sig" - Yes

"did you check the option to include pictures" - No. Where is this?

I clicked 'Browse' to find the html file which I had placed in the "Windows Mail" folder with the logo and merely used that. It seemed that is as much as I could do.

The graphic is only 1KB.

Thanks for helping...

The option to include pictures is here:
Tools, Options, Send, Mail Sending Format, HTML Settings.

Can you post your HTML code? Is the graphic image a separate file?
Does the HTML code have the correct path to the image?

I got the first part ....HTML settings, Gary. That was all ok. I thought
there may have been something I missed when I asked 'where is it'.

First, I placed the image I want to use in the Windows Mail folder.

I opened Frontpage, typed in my signature (Edward J O'Brien) and inserted
the logo ( a 1KB .gif image) just below it. I then saved the page (file) as
"signature.htm" in the same (Windows Mail) folder. (C\Program files\Windows
mail). I used the Browse button in "Edit Signature" to locate the file and
all seemed okay. The logo, however, does not appear, just the red 'x' for
the image. The text - "Edward J O'Brien" appears okay.

I have checked all MS support - including solution center - without success.

I bet the answer is something simple but I'm darned if I can see it!!

Thanks for helping...

I'm not an expert in this area, but I don't think the GIF code is
supposed to be included in the HTML file. The HTML file has
to call the GIF file. So your HTML code should look like this:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<DIV>put text in here</DIV>
<IMG src="file://c:\path\myimage.gif">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Also, I would not put the HTML file and GIF file under Program Files.
I would put them under Documents. Vista is fussy about where you
can store data files.
