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.

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?

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...

Well, you could have a fixed signature and then manually use Insert | Text
from file to add the pickatag file. You might also contact the authors and
ask if there is an HTML version.

edit the source of the saved template to include the text file in an Iframe?

briframe src='pathtopickatag.txt' height=20
width=100%/iframe/body/html

add the text file as a background image

BODY style="BACKGROUND-POSITION: bottom center; BACKGROUND-REPEAT:
no-repeat"
bgProperties=fixed background='pathtopicatag.txt'

which has the added bonus that the text remains onscreen all the time and
the email flows around it

I think IFRAME rendering has been prevented due to security concerns.

I don't know of a way to get it into the div tags.

Looks more like a bug or deliberate deficiency to me. ; )

Check the source after this procedu

1. Open this link in IE:

http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx

2. In IE use File, Send, Page by E-mail

3. Twiddle your thumbs while E-mail renders.

4. Click on Source tab

5. Click on Source

6. Do Ctrl-a, Ctrl-c

7. Paste into a Notepad window.

8. Do Ctrl-f Find for iframe

9. Find:

example
DIV id=mainColumnIFRAME class="" id=news name=news marginWidth=0
marginHeight=0 src="/newsgroups/newsframe.aspx" frameBorder=0
width="100%" scrolling=no
height="100%"/IFRAME/DIV
/example

So it's there exactly the way it was when it was rendered by IE.
It just isn't rendering there.

I suspect it is just that OE won't do the recursion necessary to render more
than the container. The same thing happens even more definitely with
a Google Groups "threadview" page. That apparently is a true frameset.
At least that is what OE shows when I look at what gets sent by page
in its case. eg

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...cacd0496d7ac15

I don't know where you grabbed that from, but the path is relative, so nothing will render.

This might work:



I'll have to test this in another OS, as the one I'm posting from is suspect. G
