How to Add Signatures - Outlook Express & Netscape Mail


Question:
How do I add a signature to my email in Outlook Express?


Answer:

Adding signatures (a set piece of text that appears at the bottom of your email) to Netscape Messenger or Outlook Express isn’t difficult, but the two programs go about it in entirely different ways.

Let’s start with Outlook Express. Open Outlook Express and from the <Tools> menu, select <Options>.

The <Options> window opens. Select the Signature tab at the top of the window, and when the Signature tab comes to the front, click on <New>.

Now you can type the signature you want in the <Edit Signature> box.

At the top of the window is the <Signature Settings> box. Select the box marked <Add Signatures to all Outgoing Messages>. Now select <Apply> to save your changes, and then select <OK>.

Now your signature will appear at the bottom of every new message you send.

That’s how you set up signatures for Outlook Express.

Netscape takes a slightly different route. First of all you have to create a signature file — a <Notepad or text file> containing your signature. Type what you want to appear as your signature into Notepad, and then save the file.

Now open Netscape Messenger. Select the <Edit> pull-down menu at the top of the screen. Then select (at the bottom of the menu) the <Preferences> option.

The <Preferences> window opens. It has a box labeled <Category>. Select <Mail & Newsgroups>. That opens a series of other options. At the top of the new list is an option called <Identity>. Select this option.

To the right of the <Category> box, is the <Identity> options. In the area marked <Signature File> type in the location of the Notepad or text file you just created (or you can select the <Choose> option to locate the file you need. To finish, select <OK>.

Now your signature file will appear at the bottom of any new message you type.
