Email signatures - how do I go about creating one?

[gedbrookes@ntlworld.com]

Hi,

Does anyone out there know how I can build a basic email signature that can be used and installed by the client easily for use with Outlook & Outlook Express?

The problem is that I use version 6 of Outlook Express which seems to have too few options when it comes to email signatures, so i think designing one from scratch is the best option (I need to insert a logo).

I have looked at some of the software on the market but I think the same software would need to be installed on the clients PC to run and if so I don't want to go down that road ?

Any help would be appreciated,

Jged

You need a software indeed to make a logo, but the client doesn't need to have the software as well. You design the logo, save it as an image, upload the image to a website that is always online (for example your own site) and insert the image into the signature (from http://www.yoursite.com/the_image.jpg). You do that like this : Tools -> Options -> Mail Format -> Signatures. You instruct the client to do the same steps and that's it.

I don't get this but a company I worked for told us we were not allowed to use signatures at the bottom of emails incase we did work through someone else and the end person wasn't to know it had come from us. But surely the kelly@someoldcompany.co.uk would give it away???
