Is there a limit on the size of a signature file that you add to a message in
outlook express. I've seen some pretty elaborate signature blocks at the end
of an email but any attempt to add anything more than my name results in a
error message saying the file is to large to add as a signature.

There's an RFC that says that signatures should only be 4 lines long.....
(AFAIK)......

Are you trying to use Word to make your signature?

You can add pictures to htm signatures.
I created three signatures, text, header, and footer.
I could have a fourth, header and footer.
I also have Insert Signature on my Toolbar.
When I have the cursor in the message composition area, I can click on the
arrow of the Insert Signature icon and choose any signature.

If your header is just a picture, the html code only needs:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<IMG src="file://c:\myimages\myimage.jpg">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Copy and paste the code into Notepad.
Locate the picture file that you want to use and replace
c:\myimages\myimage.jpg
with your picture file location.

You can use an OE mail composition window to create a signature.
Create your signature.
Copy the HTML source code and paste into Notepad.
Save As "signature.html".
Include the quotes so that Notepad doesn't add the txt file extension.
Setup signature.html for your signature.
