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!

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.

You don't need a graphic, but you do need an HTML signature for this.

font style="color:blue"isignature here/i/font

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?

You put Steve's HTML signature in the message source?

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!

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.

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.

Hi Tim,

I tried your file and it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
