Hi,
I know someone will be able to help me with this one: How do I include a hyperlink in my signature for email using Outlook Express? I know I can do it by just typing in the url as text, but I want a Click Here type of link. There doesn't seem to be a way, but I would think there should be and that I'm missing something. The code for doing it here doesn't work, and neither does basic html web code. I also know I can do the "click here" type of link manually each time I write an email. But I want it done automatically in my signature, and they have no option for that. Is it possible?
Thank you,
Mark

| Save your hyperlinked signature in an html file, then select the file in Edit Signature/File. |

Darn, and here I thought I was going to be all genius for having figured that out. But at least now I know too. |

| Of course, you still have to send the file as html/plain text. If it is only plain text, it should still deparse the html. |

Thank you for your responses all, but I'm still having a problem with this. I know it sounded like I almost knew a little something, talking about codes and stuff, but I really don't know much about this stuff.
How do I save my hyperlinked signature in an html file? Using what? I know I can save something as an html file using "save as" then clicking the drop downdown and saving as html. But what am I saving? Do I write some kind of html code in MS Word or something? I think I need a step by step tutorial. I mentioned trying html code in my initial post, but I'm not even sure I got the code right. I wrote it down from a dummies book (I work in a book store) and when I got home, I wasn't sure about spaces and stuff...
Thanks again.
Mark

The html file will need (at the minimum) code like this:
Click" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">//www.adress.com/stuff">Click Here
Most html parsers ignore any spaces more than one character, unless you use the tags. I would not suggest using word, the formatting word applies is pretty bad, use wordpad or notepad. Or just find an HTML writer (wysiwyg or otherwise).

| I used notepad. I wrote BUY MY PRINTS SUCKERS That was it. Then I did a save as and saved it as sig.html. Then just upload that file in the little box that asks for it in the sig preferences. |

You actually don't need the or tags. Just the is all that seems to be necessary. |

| All right, the browser will parse it, but it's still bad code :P |
