   Thanks for the info. It really helped me set up my signature with all the HTML formatting. I tried and tried to set it up from Outlook Options for so much time before seeing this.

   I have Vista Home Premium and found the directory at c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures but when I insert the HTML signature through Outlook 2007 nothing happens, no sig is inserted. Any ideas?

   Michael,
   Did you insert the signature in Outlook 2007? I’ d suggest you create the signature in Outlook and then modify the html file in the above location. Let me know how that goes.

   I too wish to have a picture to the left of my signature. The signature has six lines of text, and I wish the picture to span all six lines. Thanks!

    Thanks! Allowed me to migrate signatures in Outlook 2007, as well. I sure didn’t want to retype them all.

    If you’re all asking how you can get pictures to work in-line etc, look up a good HTML formatting guide. It’s doable.

    In Vista,
    the files are located in 2 locations
    c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures
    and
    c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Stationery

    the easiest way to create a html file that will work properly is to use good old Microsoft Word and save as Html File. you will need to copy the folder called (documentname)_files aswell.

    if you want to use the file as a signature, you can set it up for new, forward and reply messages from the message options in tools.

    if you put it in stationery, you can use it as a theme but i havent got this working on replies and new messages yet.

    hope this helps

    after creating a sig with the logo you want, you can open MS Word and then file>open> the .htm file with the same name as your sig in C:\Documents & Settings\your user name\Application Data\ Microsoft\Signatures

    then you can select the logo, righ-click, go to “text wrap” select “Through”, and reformat your lines of text to the right side of your logo

    click save (keeping the same .htm filename),then close word

    click “signature” in a new outlook message and it will be in line, exactly as you edited it

    cheers

    make sure you do all line breaks with shift + enter

    and be sure to save a copy in .rtf and one in .txt as well, replacing the old ones

    Hello,

    I already have the image embedded into the html signature, it works fine between mail clients like outlook, thunderbird etc… but when the destiation user open the mail in webmail the signature loses its format, i mean, the image appears between the txt lines.. Any advice??

    I found easier way to do so.
    Tools-> Options-> Mail Format-> Signatures -> New
    Give your signature a name.
    Click the button “picture” (the second one from right to left).
    Use your Feedburner generated .gif image (the location of it should be http://feeds.feedburner.com/your_feedburner_image.gif , check the generated code)
    After the .gif image is inserted and still marked, click on the Ïnsert Hyperlink” (the very last button on the right) and insert the url of you feedburner feed.
    OK.
