Insert Signature or Business Card doesn't work

[Larry Latham]

When writing an email, clicking on insert drops down various choices, but
Signature & Business card are
grayed out. Does anyone know how to use this feature?
It was easy to set up in Outlook Express. Thanks

Have you made up a signature and business card?

That's because you don't have any to insert, or you haven't clicked in the
message body area first.

In the main WM window, go to Tools - Options - Signatures
click on New to create a new text signature
or click on File and go find an existing text file

Click on the Compose tab to Select or Edit a business card

Dave & Frank: Thank you very much for your help, your info made it work.
I wasn't notified that anyone responded, so I didn't think anyone had
answered.
Then I had hard time finding my post again, then the site wouldn't let me log
back in. Thanks again.

In Windows Mail go to Tools | Accounts | Add (or New) | News.
Set up an account for this news server:

msnews.microsoft.com

The server is free and does not require you to logon. This news server
carries over 2200 newsgroups related to Microsoft products and keeps
messages at least 30 days.
