i use pickatag as a tagline generator to sign my outlook express email - is
there such a thing that will allow me to add a graphic (ie my real
signature) as well as adding random taglines?

Using your real signature could be really useful to anyone into identity
fraud!!

You can create a graphic signature for OE like this:

Open a New Message window and create your signature.
Click the Source Tab. (View | Source Edit if not already checked).
Highlight the entire source code and copy / paste into Notepad.
File | Save As and save as "signature.htm" (with the quotes). It will be
saved to My Documents by default, where you can rename it if you wish.
Go to Tools | Options | Signatures. Click: File and Browse and Insert your
saved signature.

pickatag rotates (at an interval of your choosing) taglines and inserts them
into a destination text file, which you use as your signature file (see
below) in outlook express. i'm trying to add aformentioned graphic into that
text file, but it would seem to be an impossible task?

cheers for now

I have no idea how Pickatag works. I only know how to do it with OE as I
posted.

You can't add an image directly to a text file. You might be able to
create an HTML file. I don't know all the details of how to go about
that. You would have to embed the image into HTML code, within the text
file. Then you would have to count on your correspondents' email clients
to render the HTML in the sig file; otherwise your signature will appear
as raw HTML code. And an embedded image file, well, I don't know how big
that will make your sig file, or what _it_ will look like unrendered;
probably pretty ugly.

You could do this but you'd have to program it to dynamically change the
signature file prior to insertion of the sig into OE. I suspect your
pickatag program does this but is only plain text compatible. The file
would have to be an HTML signature file which contained an IMG element and
not a plain text one.

pickatag does indeed create (or at least update) a destination text file
with a new tagline at user-chosen intervals. i guess i'm wondering how to
add that text file to a signature html file with the img tag that hold my
graphic...
