Whats your mail program? Outlook? If so, then it's simple. Load Outlook, and goto your Options. Click on the Signature tab, and press New. At the bottom, you'll see a text box, ignore that, and click on File. Browse for an HTML file (which you will also need to design), and voila, it's done.

Make sure any images linked within the HTML is directed at an online location, and also to click on the "Add signatures to all outgoing messages" checkbox. Send an email to yourself to confirm.

whoa! i've never done this before...so i'm a little confused. i open notepad and insert the image in there by typing in...

<img src="blah blah blah.gif" width="299" height=57">

??????

and save as a txt file?

or how exactly are you talking about? also, what if i don't use outlook, what if i always use webmail and i am using cpanelx. how do you set it up that way?

i've never done this before, sorry, could you explain in simple terms?

thank you Uncle Bob

Yes, you can use that like so:
<img src="http://www.lala.com/lala.gif" width="100" height="100">

Maybe even include a link for the image:
<a href="http://www.lalala.com/"><img src="http://www.lalala.com/lala.gif" width="100" height="100" border="0"></a>


Or you could use a better structured HTML file like so:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.lalala.com/sig_style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td class="text">SpiderFine</td></tr>
<tr><td height="10"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td onclick="window.location.href='http://www.lalala.com/'" id="lala_link"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Afterwards, you don't save it as a TXT file, but rather an HTML file. To do that, when you try to save the document in Notepad, click on the drop down menu and select "All Files (*.*)", and type in the file name manually, like "lala.html" (no quotes). Simple.

For CPanelX, I've no idea how to use that, sorry :).

ok i made the file, but when i go to microsoft outlook, it's only letting me choose from txt files, not all files, so i can't grab the file i jsut made in html.

lemme try outlook express.

Strange. Seems to be working just fine for me. Okay, here's a step by step instruction on how to get it to work:

1. Open notepad
2. Enter this text <img src="http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif">
3. Save the file as "sig.html", and save it to your Desktop
4. Once in your Desktop, right-click on the file to ensure it has an HTML file extension (not a ".html.txt" or similar)
5. Close the HTML file, and load Outlook Express
6. In the Tools menu above, select Options, and then click on the Signatures tab
7. Press the New button
8. At the lower part, click on the File radio option, and click on the Browse button
9. When the new window pops up, select "HTML Files" in the Files of type drop-down menu, this should show you your sig file
10. Locate the "sig.html" file & press the Open button
11. Now the original tabs window should show up, look near the top & locate the tick boxes
12. Tick the Add signatures to all outgoing messages box, and tick the box just below it as well if you like
13. Press Apply/OK, and you're done :)!

Test it on yourself, it should automatically add the Google graphic at the bottom of all your new emails.
