I am trying to make a .GIF signature file that can be attached

Can this
be done? If so, what are the steps to make this happen?

Thanks in advance for any help sent my way.

I was about to give up on this signature attempt when I learned
about the Attachment of the signature being a problem. I then
decided
if there was another way of accomplishing the same thing in a non
image
file. I found the answer right in front of me and it seems to
work with
few steps involved. Here is what I did (starting from the
SeaMonkey Inbox):

1. Clicked "Compose"

2. Added an "Address", "Subject", and a Message Text.

3. I then clicked the selection V at the end of the small window
containing "Variable Width" typed in it. (This small window is
located
under the subject space and above the message space. I then
selected
"Script MT Bold" from the drop down list.

4. I next selected the font size for the signature by either
clicking
the A Up Arrow or the A Down Arrow.

5. Lastly, I sent the message.

Note: All of the settings I made during this process reverted
back to
the original settings once the message was sent.

I hope this all makes sense...if not, let me know. Also, I
believe this procedure will work without involving the attachment
problem identified in some of the responses...if not, let me know.

Thanks again for your help.

The recipient will see your signature in Script MT Bold only if
he or
she has installed that font. According to
<http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/index.shtml>, that font
appears on only 58% of Windows systems and not at all on Mac or
Linux
systems.

So the best way is composing an html signature with an embedded
.gif file.

Not really. The recipient might have blocked the opening of
attachments. As I said before in this thread, inline graphics files
(GIF, JPEG, BMP, PNG, etc) are separated from an E-mail message as the
message traverses the Internet. They are treated as attachments until
the recipient's E-mail application recombines them with the message --
BUT ONLY IF the recipient allows attachments to be opened and does not
force HTML-formatted messages to be viewed as if ASCII-formatted.

Why would a recipient block the opening of a GIF file? Because GIF
files (and other graphics files, too) have been known to carry
malware,
according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's US-CERT.


So there is no way to achieve:
"I want to type in Script MT Bold//Font Size 22//Microsoft Word my
signature"

If the receiver did not have this font installed.
And embedding a gif file (a printscreen of the text) into an html
signature doesnot work also if the receiver block attachement.

Did you have a solution ?

Do a plain-text signature.

If i follow your philosphy, the only tag allowed in website should be
this one:
<pre>
Text in a pre element
is displayed in a fixed-width
font, and it preserves
both spaces and
line breaks
</pre>

This method permit the backup of your site to a punch-tape device :-)

and the problem with this general lay-out is................???

do you still have an PDP-8 under the ceiling? the 11/45 from cwi.nl was indeed a lot neither than the 11/40
or do i compare the LSI-75 against the LSI-23
i was young at least during that time, but i
learned to sing /amazing grace/ with my right hand on my coriçon OSLT
