Windows XP Just the Steps For Dummies
Adding a Signature in Outlook Express
Adapted From: Windows XP Just the Steps For Dummies

You can automatically add your signature to the end of an e-mail you've created in Outlook Express. A signature is a small bit of information that shows who you are to anyone reading the message. Your signature can include your name, title, contact information, a business slogan, or cool quotation.

To create a signature in Outlook Express, just follow these steps:

  1. Choose Tools, Options to open the Options dialog box. Click the Signatures tab.

  2. Click the New button to create a new signature and enter the Signatures text.

  3. Select the Add Signatures to All Outgoing Messages check box and make sure that the signature is selected as the default.

Select the Don't Add Signatures to Replies and Forwards check box to insert a signature manually. If you want to add the signature only occasionally, then take this route.

  1. Click OK to save the signature.

To manually add a signature to an open e-mail message, choose Insert, Signature and select a signature from the list that appears to insert it.

If you have different e-mail accounts and want to assign a different signature to each one, when you're on the Signatures tab of the Options dialog box, select a signature in the Signatures list box, and click the Advanced button. Then select an account to associate it with.
