Email software with full-blown html signature - know one? Təhdid postu: Marion Schimmelpfennig

Hi,
For years, I've been using Netscape Messenger for several reasons and am pretty happy with it. However, Messenger only allows an email signature with the barest HTML feature - a link to a text is all that's possible because the signature has to be in a txt.file. So no buttons or pictures.
Do you know of a similarly good email client (Outlook is out of the question for me) that supports comprehensive HTML features in the signature?

Marion, what version of Netscape are you running? I use 7.1, and the help function tells me:
Attach this signature: Lets you choose the signature file (****in text or HTML format****) you want to attach to your outgoing messages. Click Choose to locate the signature file (optional).
I just tested it by making an empty HTML doc with Composer, dragging and dropping your profile picture into it, saving it, and telling Netscape to use this as a signature instead of my usua... See more Marion, what version of Netscape are you running? I use 7.1, and the help function tells me:

Thanks - I just tried what you suggest and it works. Almost. The graphic file I inserted into the HTML does not show, but all the other HTML info is fine. What could it be with the graphic file? It's a common jpg.
I use Netscape 7.1, too.

When you say it doesn't show: it doesn't show where? If you save the file and open it like a regular file in Netscape, does it show? Or does it not show only when you try to write an email? Sometimes Composer has problems with absolute/relative filepaths. It's weird because that (an image file) is essentially the *only* thing I tried and it did work. If you'd like you can email your HTML signature, maybe I can figure it out.

Hi Michele,
Thank you - I had used an older version of Composer, but it works with the new one.
THANK YOU!!!

Great! I also just figured out a solution on my end, I'll go ahead and post it here for others: If you deactivate "URL is relative to page location" it should work. Then the full pathname shows up, like file:///C:/Marion/Docs_2005/xxxx.jpg instead of just xxxx.jpg I guess if you tell it that the URL is relative to page location, Netscape looks in the Mozilla directory, which is typically somewhere way deep in the Programs directory (i.e. not where you saved your pic).
Glad it worked!

Michele, I can't thank you enough. I've played around with Netscape for some time until you told me about the *obvious* solution. I'm so glad I don't have to sack good ol' Netscape!
Toledo: Many thanks for the link. At first glance, they offer the same as Netscape, but I did not read all the details since I'm happy to stick with what I know

Never touch a running system, but if a day you think your software is "out of order" and you have the time, try it
For example, can Netscape this?
