Re: Warning: Your signature file is too large

The picture (JPG file) is not embedded in the HTML file, it merely
contains a pointer to the JPG file.
There are a couple of tutorials that may help you:

On your message:

A couple of lines of HTML code shouldn't add up to 25KB.
What about that logo .JPG file? It should not be included in
the HTML, only referenced.

What do you mean by "only referenced" - I don't know how to insert a picture
that way.

I have a word file that is simply my email signature text info plus a small
jpg (I think) with my company logo. It's probably about 40kb. When I
followed Ron Sommer's instructions:

"You can compose a signature with WinMail and Notepad.
Create your signature in an WinMail mail composition window.
View, check Source Edit.
Click on the Source tab.
Highlight and copy the source code.
Paste the code into Notepad.
Save As "signature.htm". Change signature to your chose of a name.
Use signature.htm for your signature file".

....the signature.htm file is still too big. I'm still at 25kb. I've tried
to save it as an HTML, MHTML, but the text file in Notepad stil comes out
waaaay over the 4kb limit. My signature as a word file is not complicated at
all, I'm not attaching pictures or anything crazy. Can I compress my word
file somehow? Perhaps save it as another file type? When I had Outlook,
this was never a problem (that I remember) and I'm really getting frustrated.
I started my own company recently and I would really like to have a
"corporate looking" signature. Please help.....please. Thank you in
advance. Jay.
