Default Add a signature to OE 6.0 messages

I would like to add a signature to sent message. I know how to add just
text, but I would like to also include a logo below my name, address, etc.
This logo is in jpg format. Could someone tell me how I can do this.
Thanks,
Gordon

Create the signature in HTML format. Save it somewhere.
Tools/Options/Signatures, click on New Signature and then use the browse
button to browse to your newly created HTML sig and you're done. I use
Front Page to do this kind of thing.

Oh, and the sig can't be bigger than 4K or it will be truncated.

Hi Gordon,

Alias has noted the size limitation (without having the graphic in a folder
on the Web to be downloaded separately, not as part of the message) and
suggested using FrontPage. FrontPage Express or other Web page editor could
also be used to add text in the signature. Using one of these save the
signature file as a (HTML/HTM) file -- not as a Web page. It is often
necessary to edit such a file in Notepad to correct the path to the graphic.
Further help may be needed.

It is easy to create a file for a graphic only in Notepad. More editing (of
the HTML/HTM file) would be needed to add text. A signature file can also be
inserted into a Rich Text (HTML) message using the Insert menu.

More Information

Create a file as follows (using Notepad) and save it as signature.html and
use it by browsing to the file when it asks for your new signature. Please
note it will only work in messages that are formatted as HTML messages.

--------------------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<BODY>
<IMG src="file://c:\myimages\myimage.jpg">
</BODY>
</HTML>
-------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure the full path to the image is included as the src.
Then go to Tools | Options | Signatures and designate that file as your
HTML signature.
-------------------------------------------------------------

If you want a large fancy logo in your signature, create the html file to
call the image from a web address, put the image on your web server
done
