Creating Signatures Manually using HTML

E

Ethan Metsger

Hello to all and sundry. I'm doing a favor for my boss--writing him a
signature for Outlook in straight HTML. The reason I'm doing this is
because the formatting of the generated XML signature is a bit off
(e.g., it will treat a carriage return as a paragraph break instead of
a line break).

The problem is that when I write the signature (which takes next to no
time), it doesn't appear to recognize the image tag or the stylesheet
I've been using to format the text in the signature. While I'm not a
CSS purist, I'd rather do it that way than use deprecated formatting
tags (e.g., <font> or something similar). That's less of a concern to
me than the image, though.

I've been using something akin to <img
src="file:\windows\etc\etc\etc.jpg" border=0 height=x width=y alt=z>.
This produces an appropriately dimensioned box with our favorite red X
in it. When I look at the properties for the image, the link isn't
the same as the one that I put in there, but apparently some screwball
Outlook concoction. How could I fix this?


While I'll certainly keep tabs on the newsgroup, I'd appreciate email
responses to (e-mail address removed) if you could do me the favor. Thanks so
much.
