Does anyone know how to add an image like a logo to a signature without having it appear as an attachment?
 
The behavior of how it 'appears' is somewhat dependant on the receivers mail client.
 
Code the HTML by hand instead of using Word to create the signature, this fixes it. See example below:


<html>
<HEAD>
<title>My Signature</title>
</HEAD>

<p align="left"><img height="54" alt="My Logo
src=" width="179"><br>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">YOUR_NAME</font><br>
<br>
<strong><font face="Arial" size="2">COMPANY_NAME</font> </strong><br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">PHONE_NUM</font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">FAX_NUM</font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">EMAIL_ADDRESS</font></p>

</body>
</html>


Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures" and the HTML file will be named "My Signature.htm", in this example....

I have the same issue and have tried all above solutions. Even when I send to myself, I receive it as an attachment.

Any other ideas?
 
ryanc2,
I tried GVN's code and it worked perfectly with Outlook 2000. You must have missed a Mail Format setting?

If your sending format is plain text, html will always be received as an attachment.
 
I'm using 2003 (and HTML sending format). Would there be a difference in the way it is handled between 2000 and 2003?

Thanks in advance...
 
To narrow this down, try sending a simple message in HTML format, with some colored and/or bold text to multiple recipients (if possible) and have them inform you of the results. Did they receive it with the bold/colored formatting? If not, then the server is probably removing the html formatting.
