Hi Albertus!

If you are on a Macintosh, you can use TextEdit or SimpleText and save as plain text. If you are on a Window’s machine you can use notepad.

I tried and I tried and I really tried hard! BUT i can’t get it to work
It looks that I have problems in using a text editor with opening your code. Changing name is ok, but as soon As I replace your graphic with my link the text editor changes the document in an rtfd documents which I can’t open with safari app. So do you have any tricks for me how I can edit your code and replace your image with mine?

thanks, albertus

[...] Create your signature with the tools to get the look you want. You can create horizontal lines, choose fonts, colors, etc. You can even insert a logo. (NOTE: Your logo will show up as an attachment in someone’s inbox. There is always a risk that this will get your mail thrown into their spam filter. If you want to create a signature that displays the logo without inserting it, go see this article.)… [...]

Jan10 – you can look at this article for Outlook Express. It should be a similar process. Then you try taking the same HTML code from this post and using it in Outlook 2010. All that being said, i did find an article on creating a signature in Outlook 2010 here:

Hi Lena, I’m also looking for the way to put an hmtl signature in outlook but then for outlook 2010.
When doing this in the Mail programme from Apple you us the archive file and replace it in the signatures folder. Would this work with outlook when you go to outlook/documents and settings and then signatures (if there is a folder like this? haven’t had the change to find a pc with outlook 2010 yet but will do this within a couple of hours)

thank you for this quick reply,

unfortunately adding the empty lines do not work, this is what I have right now:

…

body {
margin-top: 0 px;
margin-left: 73 px;
font-family: Times, serif;
}
img {
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-left: -73px;
}

Do you think it is ok like this?

(It seems like apple mail won’t allow me to reply to a message and keep my own signature rules, somehow the original mails hmtl is taking over. I use Mac OS 10.6.6)

It sounds like you are doing the right things. I would probably make a couple of empty spaces above and below the signature with no formatting at all so your recipients reply they won’t be “stuck” inside what you formatted. Does that help?

Dear Lena,
Is it possible to make a banner in an email and then when you start writing have the text begin at a specific width from the left side of the email window in a specific font?
I wrote something for this but because I specified the margin-left in the body, when people want to reply to a message that has been written like this they are also forced to begin their text at this point and use the same font. Putting things in a table and giving a style to this table also didn’t work out fine.
