Thread: Email signatures

I use MS Outlook for my emails and would like to create a flash signature for my work emails. I've created one which doesn't look too bad, though I'd like to include my business logo ... so far without success .

If I send it to myself it comes in looking fine, but if I send it to the other box on my network as a test, it loses its format and arrives in very ordinary Courier Font. The other box is only using MS Outlook Express ... is this the issue?

And any tips on creating a flash one like those I receive from many other ppls?? But I don't want to use Plaxo as it gives me the irrits ....

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

In general there is no guarantee that it will work between different applications, like you found with Outlook and Outlook Express. If you use an embedded GIF then one person will see it as an attachment and another may see it as the embedded graphic.

Personally I hate fancy graphical/colourful signature blocks
