html signature 1

[kwunder]

I've created my own signature for outgoing mail in outlook express 5.5. I created it in Word 2000, and saved it as a html file. I then went to the Tools/Options/Signatures tab in outllok express, and selected the new html signature to use. Now when I click New Mail to compose a message, I get an error saying :

WARNING ! Your signature file is too large. It has been TRUNCATED, please make it smaller.

What are the limits I've exceeded, or what am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance

Nice one Jay~
I've been sat here for 36 hours now scanning through regedit to see if I can find a lead. Nothing as of yet. There is nothing on the Microsoft Knowledge Base either, except the statement that 4k is the max.
Why ? Why??????? make it 4kb ???????????
Just another foot in the door tactic to make people fork out for OE's big brother I expect.

Off back to regedit...... s-)

cheers

MS say that the reason that the limit is 4kb, is that when OE first came out, they didn't see why anyone would have a need for a larger sized signature, so the put a limit on it?? Believe that!?!?!
Anyway, Ive gone through the reg for a while now too and still nothing. I've called in the help of the amazing reghakr, so hopefully help is on the way!!! Jay~

OK.......

I'm getting the same message. It's contained within the C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msoeres.dll file.

I've tracked the registry using RegMon and ReMonEx. I've changed some values, no luck so far.

There's no way that I know of to fool the file size, so I don't think it's possible.

I don't like giving up so easily, but I don't see a way out of it.

Sorry about this Key Tech & reghakr, but I have another question I've asked in another forum. I've had no replies yet and I think you may be able to answer.

Appologies again for posting here

the question is at

Kwunder,

I realise I may have missed the plot somewhere in this, however, what is to stop you attaching the graphic and sending it with the email. Not elegant, but might be worth a go if you can't get the file size down

 

[kwunder]

I know what you mean, but the idea was of a convenient "have to do nothing" footer to my e-mails, which incorperated my website logo.

Thanks Paul.

Why not create a background picture that has your web site logo either as a watermark, or as a small image with lots of white space above it?

I used photo editor to make a pale image to place behind my emails.

what type of file is the attached image, you can try saveing it over and over, each time compressing it about 10 or 5% this will reduce the file ever so slightly, and having minimal (If any) loss of quality. Jay~
