"Warning: Your signature file is too large."

[Guest]

Good evening. I tried to create a signature in Word and safed it as a
htm/html file. For some reason I get the message ""Warning: Your signature
file is too large." Can you please advise as to what I need to do to
condense the file or save it in another format?? Thanks.

Maximum signature file is 4 KB. (I'm assuming that because it was true for
OE.)

it has been said here that Word adds a bunch of extra stuff into the file making it over the 4k boundary.
am not a word user so do not know what to tell you about it.
you can search previous posts about signature to see what the suggestion was.

Try saving your sig as plain text, .txt
This has always worked for me.

Save it as Filtered HTML and that should take out some of the Word Junk.

I am having a problem saving my signature file w/picture also. Any
suggestions? I have tried saving as a Plain text and Filtered Hotmail
already.

 

[Ron Sommer]

There is a 4 kb size limit on a signature file.
Word puts so much bloat in HTML that it is useless for creating a signature
file.
The picture should be referenced by a link and not included in the signature
file.

You can compose a signature with WinMail and Notepad.
Create your signature in an WinMail mail composition window.
View, check Source Edit.
Click on the Source tab.
Highlight and copy the source code.
Paste the code into Notepad.
Save As "signature.htm". Change signature to your chose of a name.
Use signature.htm for your signature file.

Sorry, but I still dont understand.

Do I have to sign up for WinMail and then compose a signature in that
program, which will then work in Windows Mail?

[Steve Cochran]

You don't have to sign up for anything. Just compose the htm file and under
Tools | Options | Signatures set that as the signature file.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

WinMail is the exe file for Windows Mail.
Start a HTML message in Windows Mail and follow the directions.

I know how to do simple signatures via Tools Options etc. But I am looking
to add photos, clip art and diff fonts as I used to in Incredimail. I also
used to have 2 tickers attached to my signatures via lilypie.com

Is it not possible to do in Windows Mail?

 

[Ron Sommer]

Can you compose an email to look like your signature?
If you can, follow my directions.

Kimbra, The best way to do this is to forget the signature and just create
new stationary. Go to Word and choose background color, insert pictures, type
your name and other info in the font of your choice, etc... Save as a webpage
(.htm file)---then, under tools, option, compose, select your new file as
stationary.

 

[Guest]

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks Ron! You'd think Microsoft would make
their own products work better together since they tell you to make it in
Word in the first place. Oh wait, that would be too logical...

 

[Guest]

Thanks Ron, you are a genious! I spent hrs trying to figure out how to get a
picture in the signature, and it only took 2 minutes to do it your way, much
appreciate.

 

[Guest]

Thanks Ron.

There used to be a Usenet guideline that sigs should be limited to
five lines max.
