Default signatures in e-mail

Thanks. I should have figured that one out for myself.
Now, should OE be able to use an rtf file for the signature or is it limited
to txt?

However when I wish to add it into a message the signatures button in Add is
greyed out. Even with a text signature "add-signature" is greyed out.
Selecting "add-signature to all messages" in OE options adds a text
signature to all messages but not a signature from a file. In neither case is
the "add-signature" button available in the message add menu.
How do I correct this problem so that I can selectively add a text or file
signature to all or selected messages?
Thanks.


Click on Message pane and see if it doesn't work then.

Create an HTML file and then use Signature in Tools/Options to browse to
the file. It can't be larger than 4k. You can use Paint or, if you have
it, Front Page or any other HTML editor to make the sigs. As the sig
points to the file, if you change the sig file and save it, it will
automatically be changed when you use it in OE.
