Macmail users, help please

Hello all,

Just a quick query, I use a PC, not a Mac, so looking for some advice! I have a client who is trying to set up an email signature containing his logo in his Mac email. I've been searching online for him but can't find a step-by-step guide, but all I can find is this:

In Mail, you can add prepared text (a "signature") to the end of email you send.
You can add one signature to all messages automatically or create several and choose one when you compose a message.

To create a signature:

1. choose Preferences from the Mail application menu and click Signatures
2. select the signature you created and drag it to your account
3. to add the signature automatically to every message, choose it from the Select Signature pop-up menu.
   to choose a signature when you compose a message, select "Choose signature when composing email".

He has already been doing this with the logo (dragging it across) but the logo just comes through as an attachment. If I were to send him an html file with the logo hosted on his site, could he drag the html file across?

Any advice much appreciated!

I don't think it's possible in Mail, I've tried all sorts, hosting an image and using "img scr" but I can't find a way to embed a picture into the signature, if I find a way I'll let you know.

No it works fine Mac to Mac, if you drag the image into the signature box it stays there fine, assuming the user is on Tiger.

I'll test it Mac to PC.

Can anyone return the favour, someone has asked how to do the same thing in Outlook for the PC???

Any takers??

Hi Toon,

Should be able to sort that for you!

First, you'll need to create an html file with the logo, text and any links included in it, and save it to the desktop.

In Outlook, select 'Tools' and 'Options' then select the 'Mail Format' tab.

Click on 'Signatures...' then click 'New' and give the signature a name.

Select 'Use this file as a template' and click 'Browse' to find the html file on your desktop.

Click next, then finish and the signature will be added.

Any problems, just give me a shout.

I'll pass it on, thanks Sarah
