I have Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16386 on a Vista Home Premium 64-bit system. I
just discovered an odd and unexpected quirk:
I created an HTML signature file, using the recommended method: create the
signature in a new email, copy the source html code into a Notepad file, and
then save this file with .htm or .html extension. When I create a new
email, this signature is automatically added, and the links in there work
fine.
The odd behavior is that if I *add* the same signature manually, using the
Signature button at the top of the email, the signature looks exactly the
same, with the underlining of the text that should constitute a link. But,
these links are dead and non-functional.
I looked at the source code within the email, and found that in the code for
the link where the url should appear between the two "" marks, there is
nothing there! When the signature is placed automatically when it is
opened, the proper url appears between the two quotation marks.
I've been adding my signature manually like this for several months, and
only now discovered that it does not contain the proper links!!
Is this a known bug? I can't see how it could result from anything I'm
doing wrong, as the html file works fine when added automatically by
WindowsMail.
Why doesn't it also work when added manually???
Thanks!
