Although you can add a graphic into a signature, can this be embedded?

When I recieve this image back in a reply it always comes up as an attachment - which if I don't remember, I usually end up opening and then discarding hence wasting time.

Any suggestions?

HTML

You probably need to send as HTML -- check that property and let me know if it doesn't work.

Choose Options from the Tooms menu and click Mail Format (I think).

I have the same problem with a signature that contains a graphic. If the recipient of the message is plain text the HTML setting doesn't help.

That's what 'Plain Text' means - no graphics.

Only those that accept email in HTML format will see graphics - plain & simple.

I've been using company logos in my signature wince teh late 90's. Sometimes you send to people who view and reply to email in a blackberry too, they aren't going to want a graphic and then reply with it too, text is taking over HTML email these days.

Hi
I also have had this problem but now it has solved. Here is step by step that how to inset image with outlook signature.
?Start with a message using HTML formatting.
?Position the cursor where you want the image to appear.
?Go to the Insert tab.
?Click Picture.
?Find and highlight the desired image.
Click Insert.

The image should be in GIF, JPEG or PNG file and not too big. After you have insert the image, highlight it and add link i.e.

Select the entire message
Copy the message
Select tools, options and click on Mail Format
Click on signatures, new and click on next
Now past the message there and click on Finish
Now click on OK

Although I strongly recommend using plain text, if you really want pretty, there is a much easier way.

Use Wordpad to create your signature (including any desired graphics) and set your default format as Rich Text.

Rich Text is a good idea, but how is your solution easier than using Outlook -- I'm always interested in easier.

Once the RTF file is saved, you're just a few clicks away from using it. It just seemed like a lot more steps the other way.
Hi, normally i created email signature in outlook 2003 by copy image and past directly into mail box. Now i discover the solution. Thanks
