Do a plain-text signature.
Why we cannot use a beautiful signature ?
If you use it in business because your company requires it, okay. At
least try to keep down the bytesize.
I was at work using Outlook, and *all* our signatures were we have all
our details, phone number, position, plus the logo of our company - all
of that very nice. Nobody have complained about it.
If it was company policy, who would complain? And who do you know who
actually *reads* all those space-robbing signatures?
Here's a case I have to deal with: one of the web sites I maintain is
for a local business. Frequently, two of the employees will collaborate
on some new content - not by sitting down across a desk, but by sending
emails to each other, fifteen feet away from each other. With each
email, they add their own sig graphic, around 40KB each (and they both
top-post).
Finally, they agree on the content and one of them sends it all to me,
and I get a huge email with a half-dozen or more copies of the worked-on
content, and all these graphics because none of them is smart enough to
*trim* off extraneous crap. I get an email of a few paragraphs of
business, maybe a few kilobytes, and a waste with 250 MORE kilobytes of
signature graphics.
If the receiver want to stay in the past allowing only plain text, this
is his choice - We don't care ... he should live in the present.
I'm living in the present and read all mail in Plain Text. You're right,
it's my choice. I don't care what you do, but at least give your
recipients a break. A couple of lines in HTML with a nice font should
suffice.
And be sure to delimit it with the proper sig delimiter, as shown next,
two hyphens followed by a space on a single line (though that rarely
works with HTML email):
I never tried it. This is my signature i uses C:\ALLDATA\signature1.txt
A pure plain text, but someone prefer to have a better appearance.
The problem with the nice font, is because: "If the receiver did not
have this font installed."
