Add my thanks to Rons very straightforward and simpel instructions

I tried this and it works, however, I have multiple email addresses so is
there a way to denote which stationary to use for each email address?

Go to
Tools - Options - signatures
click on a signature, then click on "Advanced"
you can associate one sig with one account

Ron,

Unfortunately I am still being incredibly dumb;

I put the source code into notepad, save it as a 'signature.htm', and then
when I link that to my signature in Tools Signatures, when I load up my new
email the signature is just html.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance?

Ron,

Thank you also, I have cracked it, I was being dumb! Vista doesnt pop up
with a htm option to save, so you have to select save type as 'all files',
and then type .htm at the end.

Thanks alot!

hi ron,
i tried what you wrote, i think i may have not understood exactly.
i have a picture that i want to be in my signature, you said:
"Create your signature in an WinMail mail composition window."
does that mean that i have to paste my picture in the compostion window too?
because when i do so it doesnt show the picture, and if not then where should
i put the picture to have it on the signature.
please do help.
thanks a bundle.
please if possible explain more detailed.
thanks again.

Tom Hanson n/a posts	Re: "Warning: Your signature file is too large." Ron, Unfortunately I am still being incredibly dumb; I put the source code into notepad, save it as a 'signature.htm', and then when I link that to my signature in Tools Signatures, when I load up my new email the signature is just html. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance?

Tom Hanson n/a posts	Re: "Warning: Your signature file is too large." Ron, Thank you also, I have cracked it, I was being dumb! Vista doesnt pop up with a htm option to save, so you have to select save type as 'all files', and then type .htm at the end. Thanks alot!
