Thanks for this – the ‘float: left;’ does not work in Outlook Express – is there any alternative to fix this?

Thanks

Good stuff, man. Thanks. Unfortunately Outlook screws up the alignment (pic appears above text), but I can’t say I’m surprised. The other webmail clients I’ve tested look great.

In Mac OS 7 (Lion), the Library folder is now hidden. It took me a while to find it, but an easy path is to hold down the Option key while selecting Go in the Finder Menu. “Library” should show up as an option!

Hi, thanks for the directions. I have tried and tried, but get just my HTML code as my siggy line – don’t know what I am doing differently from what you direct here, but obviously something…any tips? Thanks kindly, -Joe

Thank you for posting these instructions, Milind! I finally have a signature I can live with that doesn’t involve attachments! It took me a while to get my HTML coding right, but I did it. And when I first applied my webarchive file to my signature file, my image did not show up in Mail’s preference pane, but it showed up in my actual email. I tested it by sending to a couple of people who use different email programs, and it looked good in all of them. When people reply from those emails, the formatting is lost, but I can live with that. Thanks for your help with this!

Hi there,

I have been trying to create my signature, initially I did it fine and then today i wanted to change the information I gave out. I used the same webarchive name as previously used and ut it in the library mail folder, but it doesn’t seem to be coming up in the signature pane of preferences. For some reason Mail isn’t recognising it. When I save the signature that I’ve created it doesn’t add .webarchive to the end. I tried adding it manually but that seemed to make no difference and now I’m concerned that I have got rid of something that I shouldn’t have!

Any ideas, would love some help if you can offer it up.
