adding image signature

I am trying to add an image signature to emails. I've loaded the gif
file to the server and then in notepad I created a file with the HTML
on it, I was not able to save the file as a HTML file as that option
did not show, only as 'All files'. I then gave the filepath to the
HTML notepad file which has on it the image path in Edit signature,
then I clicked on file. Tried it out but it does not work. Can anyone
say what I am doing wrong? Please be clear as some people only give
snippets of info. not the whole picture.

Hi Quartzy,

Take a look at this tutorial to see if it will help you. See step 6 for a alternate way of creating one.

Windows Mail Signatures

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: adding image signature

Hi This has not helped at all, as I am having the same problem as Quartzy.
How do you save notepad file to a html file when not given the option.

Hi Wrigglec,

I update the "NOTE" for step 6 to make it easier to create a signature file as a .html in Windows Mail. See the link above.

To save a Notepad file as a .html file:
1. In Notepad, click File, and click Save As
2. Change the "Save as Type" to "All Files" instead of "Text Documents (*.txt)".
3. Type in a name for the file with the .html file extension. EX: "name.html" (no quotes).
4. Click Save.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

RE: adding image signature


try creating a signature file in html in any software such as microsoft
frontpage or publisher and save it. point to this file in mail signature
options and it should work. however there is a size restriction to this. it
may get truncated.

better option to us is outlook 2007 which allows you to create a signture
with images and gif/jpg picture
