    Is it possible to insert a photo into my signature line using OE?
    Please take me step by step if the answer is yes. I use Photobucket image host if that helps.
    Thank you so much!

    ohioMom--Click OE Help|Contents and Index and then on the Index tab, type signing messages and click Display for the details. OE signatures can only be .txt or .html files.
    You can put a wider variety of images, etc., into the signature line but you would have to do it manually for each message using the Insert button on the OE toolbar.

    Ok, thanks, thats what I was afraid of.
    Can you tell me more about using an html file in my sig line. Is this something I create using website creating software? I see where I would plug it into the sig line, but how and where do I create such a thing? Or is it just a link in my sig line?
    Thanks

    ohioMom--Creating an .html file is similar to what you do when you write a webpage, but you do not have to use a webpage creation tool to do it. Rather you can open any word editor, such as Notepad, write in HTML code (tags) what you want and then save it for use with the OE Insert|Signature command.

    How to use the created file as a signature is explained in the OE Help reference I provided in my earlier post.
    An HTML document can contain much more varied and personalized content than a simple .txt document. For example, you can include a script version of your signature or other images. I believe you could include a photo.

    Yes, you can insert a picture automatically. It does not have to be done manually. Just make the "picture signature" your default signature. That will automatically place it in each e-mail.

    Read the section: Fun with Animations on the left and signatures in Outlook Express is covered. Just scroll down to where it says "When you want to add an animated signature to your e-mail . . . "

    I ended up creating a new stationary that has the photo I want on it. I placed the photo on the bottom left side, so it ends up being right by my signature.
    Here are the steps I used to create my stationary.
    From Outlook Express

    Tools
    Options
    Select the Compose Tab
    Under the stationary heading click>Create New
    Next
    Browse
    Select photo from your files
    Click position>bottom>left
    Chose your text and font size
    Next
    Adjust margins if desired
    Name your stationary
    Finish
    OK

    Hope this helps someone out. It's working well for me!
    Thanks to all for your assistance.
