"Warning: The signature file specified is not a valid text-file."

Dear Windows Mail users, I am trying to insert a new electronic signature in
my email but i keep receiving the message "Warning: The signature file
specified is not a valid text-file." Sure it is not a text file, there is a
picture in it, which is the logo of the company where I work...I have spent
days now trying to sort this problem out but with no results...I tried saving
it in word, XMS, HTML, but it appears that it must be only a text file, but
text files do not read pictures...

I would really appreciated if someone could give me some indications.

I must say that I never had these type of problems, plus many more, when I
used to work with XP and the old Outlook...

Many thanks,
Alex001

Re: "Warning: The signature file specified is not a valid text-file."

If you want an image in the signature then you have to code for it in HTML:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<IMG src="c:\myimages\myimage.jpg">
</BODY>
</HTML>

you can copy that into Notepad and then edit the path to the image and add
any text you want and then save it as an htm file and then supply that as
the file for the signature.
