Thanks to you both but when I entered your HTML signature and tried a sample
message, I see the exact same line but with my signature! What am I doing wrong
or does the HTML formatting disappear when sent?

Hi Bill,

This wouldn't be possible with a plain text message. A small graphic
signature might be the way to go using Rich Text (HTML) to assure the
recipient sees the text as intended.

I'm using IE6 and I have a block of text in my "Edit Signature" window.
What
I
want to do is to make the text italics and blue. I've tried several
things,
but
can't seem to change it. Suggestions, please!

No, not in "message source". I put "Steve's HTML signature" in
OptionsSignaturesEdit Signature box with "Text" bullet selected. If it doesn't
go there, then please advise!

You need to create a HTML file and save it to your hard drive. Then use
Tools/Options/Signatures and click on the File button at the bottom and
point it to the HTML signature file you created. Also your mail must be
formatted as HTML to use the signature.

I have a similar issue. I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. It
didn't import the html signature into the mail message, just left a blank
space. I made sure the message is html format. Any suggestions?

Would saving in MS Word as html provide the necessaryformatting?

Do not use Word.
Start a new message in OE and create your signature.
File, Save As, Html.

Gotcha. Thanks. You have to save the source code from the message into an
html file using Notepad. You must use Notepad and you must do "Save as" with
the entire filename including htm extension in quotes"". For some reason
neither Word nor Wordpad seem to work. While waiting for your response, I
found your instructions in the thread entitled "Signatures" from 11/2005.
However what you wrote below is much easier.
Again many thanks.

Hi Bill,

I created a file in Front Page that you're welcome to try. Copy the content
between the dashes into Notepad and save the file as "Name.htm" (Name can be
any name of choice). When selecting the "file" for your signature browse to
this file. Use the file dropdown list to choose the (*.htm) file. A graphic
would still be best, in my opinion, because then everyone would see the font
of your choice, which will not now be the case.
