I recently purchased my business card in a jpg file so I can use it in an
automated signature. I do Tools>Options>Signatures>File>Browse and insert
the file with my e-card. When I go to create a new email, all that appears
instead of my card is ÿØÿà. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
 
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. Make sure
you save the code and the image in the same folder. You can look at it
offline but it is best to send an email to yourself to make sure it looks
correct.

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I copy all that file below your email and
try to paste it in a folder, it won't let me. What program am I supposed to
be doing the editing in? I have my card already in a jpg, I was hoping I
could just insert that and my card will appear below where my signature used
to.....any ideas about that?
 
How big is the JPG file? If it's bigger than about 4 KB, Windows Mail
won't let you use it as a signature file directly.

Also, are the messages you're trying to add this signature to in the Rich
Text (HTML) format? If not, you're likely to have trouble using a JPG
file as a signature.
