Windows Mail not allowing me to add image to my signature. PLEASE

[Guest]

For the life of me I CANNOT figure out how to include my business IMAGE LOGO
in my signature when using Windows Mail. It will NOT allow me to add images
to my sig.

This is CRAZY that it's a hassle to get this simple task done in this email
client. I would like to include my company's image logo underneath my sig but
the program does not tell you how to accomplish that? I have NO problem
creating a sig that contains text ONLY but it will not allow me to include an
IMAGE.

If anybody could please tell me how to accomplish this I would be VERY
grateful.

Thanks for your time,
Juliet

Great I see what the problem is now. Windows Mail only allows images in your
sig if it's 4k in size or less. How ridiculous!!!!! That is just plain
absurd. Not to mention this email client is FULL of bugs!!!

How on earth am I supposed to include an image in my sig with this email
client? I do NOT want to have to manually insert my image into my sig each
time. That is also absurd and not convenient at all. I want it to
automatically insert my sig WITH the image every time I open to write new
email.

Anybody know how? If there's no solution to accomplish this very SIMPLE task
then this email client really is garbage.

Thanks.

That's not a bug, it's by design. Make a small HTML file that calls your
picture.
It will only work in HTML mail.
WinMail is exactly like Outlook Express this way.

I of course know that is not a bug. I was not referring to that when I
mentioned it is full of bugs. Windows Mail is full of bugs. I have 3 email
accounts setup (one for each of my 3 websites) therefore I setup 3 unique
sigs for each email account since they all must have unique sigs of course
and have specified in the settings which sig goes to which account.

Yet it will constantly and ALWAYS use the default sig ONLY for ALL 3 of my
accounts completely IGNORING the settings. Either this is a bug or a very
horribly designed mail client.

Also, the spell check function was acting up. It would tell me it does not
support that language when I had ENGLISH as the language in both my message
and the settings. It finally started to work after I had to click OK several
times before it would grasp that setting. It was acting very funky.

Well Frank was trying to help you with one issue. Now you are bringing up
lots of them without a request, so have fun.

No, I was simply trying to explain what I was referring to when I mentioned
it has bugs. The spell check has been fixed. The sigs feature does contain
bugs however.

I only brought up two issues... not lots of them. Thank you.

PS- I don't see why you had the need to reply to this thread just to throw in
an unnecessary rude comment. So perhaps you should take your own advice and
go "have fun" elsewhere other than this thread.

Windows Mail in this regard is no different than OE6 before it.
The different sigs work as expected when replying to an email,
but when you begin to compose a new email the system has no
way of knowing which of the 3 accounts you mean to use, so it
just picks the default one. If you then change the 'From' account,
the sig that is already there does not change. I agree that this is
a very poor design.

Gary,

I see thanks for clearing that up. I assumed it was a bug because I didn't
think they would actually design it to function so poorly. Guess I just have
to manually enter the sig each time. I did notice though that if you manually
use the keyboard shortcut then it will pick the correct sig to put in the
message. But not otherwise.

Thanks for the responses and help. I am grateful for them. Just wripping my
hair out because lately having lots of problems since I got vista (not
related to windows mail) and am getting frustrated.

I also downsized my image logo to 3.5k but windows mail STILL keeps telling
me it's too large.

This is driving me crazy! Why on earth is it such a pain in the neck to
simply create a sig with an image? This should be so simple... the way they
have the sig function is awful. I don't know how to create it to call the
image from an html file. Plus I heard when you do that it can easily be
marked as spam or it won't load the image all the time for everybody?

In outlook 2003 or 2007... is creating an image sig much less hassle than
with windows mail or is it the same?

Thanks for the help.

it depends on the program you use to create the sig.
some programs add a lot of not needed formatting to the sig.
so what appears to be 3.5 is not really.

sounds like you need to use a email program with more features.
