Outlook Express for xp
Ok, this may be a tough question, I work for an ISP, as some of you will remember from previous posts, and I am trying to set up a mail signature, but the only way I can seem to figure out how to do this is through www.mymailsignature.com however this is unprofessional looking, I need it in plain text, not html, and I don't want a cheesy background on it. Basically I need it to look like this:
__________________________________________________ ________
Rock River Internet Your Name
202 Your Street e-mail add
Your Town, Your State 90053 555-555-5555 USA fax 555-5555
Is this possible with Outlook, and if so how do you do it? Thanks in advance! :)

Have a look in Tools > Options.
In Outlook 2003 its on the Mail Format tab, but I have no idea where it is in Outlook Express.

OK, I can't attach an example but the above example is somewhat what I want it to look like. No, there is nothing under tools or format tab. :( I hope I can do it on outlook
Any other ideas anyone?

In Outlook Express it's in Tools > Options, then the Signatures Tab.

It's still not working, the format is all whacky. I need it to be like this:
Rock River Internet Your Name

Ugggh, it keeps on showing it like this:
Rock River Internet
Your name
Address
Ph
And I want it to be formatted so our company name is on the left, address below that on left and my name is on the right, then my e-mail address, then my ph#... in other words I can do a mail signature but there is no way to format it.?

Sorry, but I'm stumped.
Mine is wysiwyg: I set the signature, type what I want in the box, and wala. I have no clue why yours is showing the field names. In fact, I don't even have fields; just a blank box to type what I want.
I'm using OE 6.00.29...

Plain text doesn't support formating ;)
So there's your problem to start with.
You could try Rich Text instead

Yea, Rickj, I have the same, OE 6.0 and I have a blank box too, but there is no way to have things on the rightside and left side aligned for my signature. In other words, there is no formatting buttons for the signature?

Problem is if you set up your signature like the example o have shown it will look incredably messy to people with different screen size.
I run at 1400x1050 and it looks a mess.
You would be better off just setting it out on the left hand side.
ISP Name
My Name
Address
E-mail
Tel:
A lot neater and professional looking.

I was going to say what Ben said. The problem is plain text does not allow you to right align text. Therefore to get it right aligned you will need to use HTML.
An alternative is to create your signature as a graphic and insert the graphic.
