Problem with image in windows mail signature
I have my signature as an html file and when i view it in IE it looks fine.
But when I transfer it to my windows mail the img src is empty. it just shows
src"" in the source code of the email and my image is just a blank box with
an x in the upper lefthand corner. What during the transfer from html file to
signature is making the image source path disappear?

Re: Problem with image in windows mail signature
What do you mean by "transfer it to windows mail"?
All you have to do is tell WM to use the html file.
Tools - Options - Signatures
New
(.) File
browse to where you stored the html file
OK

Note: the html file has to be 4K or smaller in size

Re: Problem with image in windows mail signature
Thats exactly what i mean when i say transfer. It goes from an html file to a
signature in your mail. somewhere along the way the img src "" is being
erased. i cant understand why. this is a copy of my html file.. notice the
src"http://www.lostinthoughtstudios.com/sig.gif"

it's the exact same except this time the src "" with nothing in between the
quotations. All I am doing is choosing the file from browse and applying it.
What is killing the image source?

Re: Problem with image in windows mail signature
You have a bunch of excess, junk code in there. Not
sure that is the cause but see if you can create it
right in Windows Mail.

Here are 10 steps to getting a working signature with
an image. This is just my standard reply, if I explained
things you already know, please just skip over them.

1) I really like Irfanview for almost everything to do with
image files. It is freeware or you can donate, go get it and
download the plug-ins as well.

IrfanView - Official Homepage
IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

Use that to resize your logo if necessary. Forget about the
byte size. Just make it an acceptable pixel size for your
signature. (Almost) Any size picture will work.

2) You must use HTML format, not Plain Text.
WM->Tools->Options->Send Tab->HTML Button

3) Open up a new email. Type the text you want in your
signature. Choose color/font/size.

4) Position your cursor where you want your logo. Click
insert->picture. Move logo if necessary.

5) There should be 3 buttons at the very bottom of the
email. Click Source. You are now looking at the HTML
source code that you need. Alternately you can use
CTRL F2.

6) Open Notepad (Start->Programs->Accessories)

7) Copy the relevant code from the email into Notepad.
That will include everything between these two lines of code:

<BODY bgColor=#ffffff> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx
</BODY></HTML>

===========================================
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Verdana color=#008000 size=2>
VistaRookie, owner</FONT></STRONG>
<DIV><IMG src="C:\Logo.jpg"></FONT></DIV>
===========================================

For my example above, it means I have chosen Verdana,
Bold, Green for the text. The image, called Logo.jpg is on
my root C:\ folder. It is going to say VistaRookie, owner
with the logo below the text.

8) Save that code in Notepad as Signature.HTM.
Check the file when you save it because Notepad will
want to make it a .TXT file.

I recommend, although not necessary, saving both the
HTM file (Signature.htm) and the Logo (Logo.jpg)
together in the same folder. You can save them to any
folder you want. You need to use the full path to for
whatever folder you choose.

9) Open Windows Mail->Tools->Options->Signatures Tab.
Go down to where it says Signatures click New. You can
rename it if you want. Then go to where it says Edit
Signature. Click file. Click the browse button and navigate
to where you saved the file, signature.HTM. Apply. OK.

10) Go to the top of the Signatures Tab and check or
uncheck general settings as you want them. Your
signature should appear - same as it was when you
originally created it. For testing purposes, you can click
Insert on the email menu and choose signature.
===============================================

Re: Problem with image in windows mail signature
I see at least two things wrong. The file location
http://www.lostinthoughtstudios.com/sig.gif
should be on your hard drive instead of out on the Internet.
Use JPG rather than GIF picture format.
