@Odette
A picture can't be embedded into an HTML document. The HTML document creates a link to the picture file. If the file is not in the place where the link looks for it, it will produce an X. In order to show the picture, you would need to point the link to where the picture file is located.

I'm using Open Office Outlook Express. I created an HTML page including the picture, but the signature shows "X" in place of it.

Any advice will be appreciated

Adding a signature is reasonably easy, but my problem is that the picture/logo is missing and ll i have is a box with a red cross in the top left corner. I am using outlook 2003 and the image file is stored locally in the Signatures folder, but it will still not show the image. I have turned down the security but to no avail.
Any ideas?? Ta

I have g-mail and I am trying to attach a picture to my signature. I have uploaded a picture and have clicked "save changes" but the picture still won't show up. What can I do? Thank you very much for any help. I read the article but honestly I didn't understand much of it. I need a 1,2,3 thing in layman's language -- not computer speak. Sorry!!

In MS Oulook, youI didn't have to upload picture to host. in OE, I created an HTML page including the picture, but the signature shows "X" in place of it. I put the exact location of the picture in the drive in the SRC clause, still picture does not appear. Any suggestion? Thanks

Is it only on HTML that one can creat his signature and or place his photo? What of AOL, Gmail and Yahoo.

Adding an image to my signture has caused some servers to treat my emails as spam how do I stop this

Not trying to be a smart ass, but - remove the image. You have little control over what the receiving end thinks is spam.

On a related subject. I would like to tag my address book entries with photographs. I keep a wide list of contacts and sometimes memory fails. I use Thunderbird version 2.0.0.18. Is there a way to do this? If so, maybe you could share it at some point in the near future? Thanks Leo, I read your column/ email regularly, Don

The biggest issue I would have with an attached picture is "identity theft". With your name, e-mail address, and photograph the nasties out there are that much closer to "pretending" they are you.

Form a business standpoint - HTML formatted emails make no snes to me. HTML formatting only increases the chances of some SPAM filter stopping your email. HTML emails are much larger in file size than plain text and thus take longer to send, longer to process, longer to traverse the net and longer to receive. Plain Text with a cincise signature staing contact information is a courtesy to your recipients.

I tend to agree. Some time ago I wrote about this in more detail on my "Taming Email" site: Use Plain Format - Substance Over Style.

I have 2 minor issues with email signatures. 1) Photos in signatures take up a lot of room, and make my Exchange Server administrator grumpy. 2) In some email applications, a photo or image makes the message appear to have an attachment. I hate it when the paperclip appears, but I can't find the attached file!
