"Warning: Your signature file is too large."

[Guest]

Add my thanks to Rons very straightforward and simpel instructions

 

[Guest]

I tried this and it works, however, I have multiple email addresses so is
there a way to denote which stationary to use for each email address?

 

[Dave]

Go to
Tools - Options - signatures
click on a signature, then click on "Advanced"
you can associate one sig with one account

Thanks Ron. This solved a problem for me with a fairly long e-mail signature.

Ron,

Unfortunately I am still being incredibly dumb;

I put the source code into notepad, save it as a 'signature.htm', and then
when I link that to my signature in Tools Signatures, when I load up my new
email the signature is just html.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance?

Tom

 

[Tom Hanson]

Ron,

Thank you also, I have cracked it, I was being dumb! Vista doesnt pop up
with a htm option to save, so you have to select save type as 'all files',
and then type .htm at the end.

Thanks alot!

hi ron,
i tried what you wrote, i think i may have not understood exactly.
i have a picture that i want to be in my signature, you said:
"Create your signature in an WinMail mail composition window."
does that mean that i have to paste my picture in the compostion window too?
because when i do so it doesnt show the picture, and if not then where should
i put the picture to have it on the signature.
please do help.
thanks a bundle.
please if possible explain more detailed.
thanks again.

Alex

I am having the same problem.

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.

What a Top Man you are Ron.
2 hours I have spent trying to do what you have shown me in 2 minutes!!!! LOL

I am taking signatures from my old microsoft outlook signatures and
cut-pasting them into my new windows mail. However they are being cut off...I
assume because they are too long. Do you know if outlook had a larger
signature size limit then the new windows mail system? If not then I am doing
something wrong. If the size has shrunk then I will have to figure something
else out. Thanks
Paul

 

[Guest]

I don't know what size limit Outlook has for signature files, but the limit
in Windows Mail is about 4K - smaller than most HTML files.

 

[Paul]

Thanks Rob
I have saved the files in plain text and they fit but it is strange to me
that they would have lowered their limit. If in fact they have. life is ok
with signatures today.

[Guest]

You're welcome. Outlook is part of extra cost software packages,
and is likely to keep on having features that the email programs
that come with Vista don't.

They didn't lower their limit. Windows Mail is not descended from Outlook,
but from Outlook Express which had the same 4 KB limit.

Lisa Here... I am also having the very same problem as Miss Phyllis. I have
followed Ron Sommers instruction to the Tee.. and when I open the WinMail
mail composition window there is no signature at all, nothing, a blank page.
Not even a warning. I even folllowed the titotal to the letter. What can I
possible be doing wrong. My file is only 1.11 kb. Can anyone help?
