Animated gifs as a signature
      #439356 - Wed Sep 30 2009 03:41 PM

Hi All
Can anyone help with this
I had an animated gif as a signature in Yahoo mail and for some reason I lost it.
Now I have forgotten how I put it there in he first place, can enlighten me
Plus is it possible to use an animated gif as a signature in Windows Live Mail
Thanks
SteveC

I don’t know anything about Yahoo, but below is a simple specimen signature, based on my own, in HTML. It shows an image (jpg, gif, etc.), which could be a logo, picture, avatar, etc. on the left with text on the right. Open Notepad and copy all the text into it. Now edit it with your personal details, i.e. change the image (<img src….) and email link (<a href….) lines. Also change the other text lines, font, colour and size. Save it with a meaningful name and an extension of html, preferably in its own folder, say c:\signatures\signature01.html. Also, save any picture(s) in the same folder.

In the Mail program (OE, WM, WLM), go to Tools > Options > Signatures Tab > New > File at the bottom and Browse to the name of your file (make sure the drop-down menu points to HTML Files) then Apply/OK your way out. You can look at it offline by double-clicking the name but it is best to send an email to yourself to make sure it displays correctly. Here is the code:

<HTML>
<table width="100%" border=0 cellpadding=15 cellspacing=0>
<TR>
<BR><BR>
<HR>
<td valign=top width="14%" align=left>
<TABLE width="100" border=0>
<img src="c:\signatures\mypic.gif">
<TR><TD>
</table>
<td valign=top width="86%">
<B><font face="times new roman" color=blue size=5>
John William Smith</B><BR>
<font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" color=black size=3>
Alternative email: <a href="mailto:name@thing.com">name@thing.com</a><BR>
or you can use my Hotmail, Paltalk,<BR>
Messenger or Teveo addresses/ID's.<BR>
Telephone 0123 456 7890<BR>
</font>
</HTML>
