However, the above was done because my clients <em>didn't</em> want an attached file sent with the email. This version I describe is so you <em>won't</em> have an attached file - because it's my experience that most people don't want to open up an attachment - thinking it's something they <em>need</em> to see - and discovering it's just images for the signature. It's kind of annoying. That's why I put up this tutorial, because the majority of my clients who want this do not want it to come through as an attached file (if you upload the images to a server, it draws from that, instead of attaching the images to the email as an extraneous file that someone has to download to their own hard drive to see). It's my understanding that all you have to do is replace the server path with the full path to the file on your hard drive to have it go through as an attached file. I don't know this for certain, because I've never had anyone request such a thing - but I'd imagine that would work. I also vaguely recall that Windows will allow you to add "cards" to your emails that come through as attached files as well - so that people can easily add all of your info to their address book - maybe that's what you're looking for? I see what you’re saying :)

You need to be absolutely sure you test it in multiple mail programs if you choose this method. The reason you want to "Save As" is because you want to overwrite the file that was created for the signature, and that it's in the correct place. (If you didn't see a file there, then you must not have save the initial "Create this signature" - because when you do, a file IS created for you to overwrite.) As for the computer - I don't think you want to save your images on your hard drive. If you do that, only YOU will see them. They must be put on a server so other people have access ot the items to view. If they're not, all other people are going to see are either plain text, or broken images - you will be the only one who will see th e"prettiness".

So I simply open html file in firefox and copied everything into signature. A bit easier way. Anyway, the problem is that I would like to get images from computer instead of web server. Do you know how should the src="" attribute looks like. If it is simply file name, mail didnt send the file. ? I am trying to replace image manually in Mail sig editor but it destroys old html formating ( tables) And if you have idea how to make advance formating in Entourage - place update post asap. Because this is hardcore thanks Hi there,
