Is it possible to place images in html signature file? If so, how?
It is, but only very small images. Windows Mail won't take a signature
file bigger than about 4KB. I think I've seen a way posted for putting
in a reference to a separate file instead, and therefore getting around
this size limit, but I don't remember the details.
 
I don't know what the limits are but I have a 1KB HTML file with a 7KB .gif
image file in it that works perfectly.
 
That makes sense because the .gif code is not inside the HTML file
but is merely referenced by it. Seems like there is no limit on the
..gif file size.
 
Copy the following HTML file and give it a meaningful name with an extension
of HTML. Edit it with your personal details and save it. In Windows Mail go
to Tools > Options > Signatures Tab > New > File at the bottom and Browse to
the full path name of your HTML file then apply/OK your way out. You can look
at it offline but it is best to send an email to yourself to make sure it
looks correct. Make sure the image and the code is in the same folder.

The following html worked perfectly. I believe my problem was a lack of html
coding knowledge. Thanks!!

I’m glad you managed to sort it out.

I hastily copied my file and removed some of my personal settings. The code
looks a little bloated so you could make it smaller, depending what you want
to include.
