You have a bunch of excess, junk code in there. Not
sure that is the cause but see if you can create it
right in Windows Mail.
Here are 10 steps to getting a working signature with
an image. This is just my standard reply, if I explained
things you already know, please just skip over them.
1) I really like Irfanview for almost everything to do with
image files. It is freeware or you can donate, go get it and
download the plug-ins as well.
IrfanView - Official Homepage
'IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers
worldwide' (http://www.irfanview.com/)
Use that to resize your logo if necessary. Forget about the
byte size. Just make it an acceptable pixel size for your
signature. (Almost) Any size picture will work.
2) You must use HTML format, not Plain Text.
WM->Tools->Options->Send Tab->HTML Button
3) Open up a new email. Type the text you want in your
signature. Choose color/font/size.
4) Position your cursor where you want your logo. Click
insert->picture. Move logo if necessary.
5) There should be 3 buttons at the very bottom of the
email. Click Source. You are now looking at the HTML
source code that you need. Alternately you can use
CTRL F2.
6) Open Notepad (Start->Programs->Accessories)
7) Copy the relevant code from the email into Notepad.
That will include everything between these two lines of code:
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
</BODY></HTML>
===========================================
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Verdana color=#008000 size=2>
VistaRookie, owner</FONT></STRONG>
<DIV><IMG src="C:\Logo.jpg"></FONT></DIV>
===========================================
For my example above, it means I have chosen Verdana,
Bold, Green for the text. The image, called Logo.jpg is on
my root C:\ folder. It is going to say VistaRookie, owner
with the logo below the text.
Save that code in Notepad as Signature.HTM.
Check the file when you save it because Notepad will
want to make it a .TXT file.
I recommend, although not necessary, saving both the
HTM file (Signature.htm) and the Logo (Logo.jpg)
together in the same folder. You can save them to any
folder you want. You need to use the full path to for
whatever folder you choose.
9) Open Windows Mail->Tools->Options->Signatures Tab.
Go down to where it says Signatures click New. You can
rename it if you want. Then go to where it says Edit
Signature. Click file. Click the browse button and navigate
to where you saved the file, signature.HTM. Apply. OK.
10) Go to the top of the Signatures Tab and check or
uncheck general settings as you want them. Your
signature should appear - same as it was when you
originally created it. For testing purposes, you can click
Insert on the email menu and choose signature.
