How to Do Signatures in Outlook Express 6

Microsoft Outlook Express 6 gives you the opportunity to express yourself via email signatures. These signatures are small blurbs of text that are appended to each outgoing email message, but they are not restricted to boring contact details. You can add virtually any kind of text to your signature, including personal quotes, jokes or quirky sayings. You can add only one signature to a specific email, but you can store several signatures, which allows you to easily change them depending on your mood.

Instructions

1. Open Outlook Express.

2. Click "Tools" in the top menu bar and select "Options" from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the "Signatures" tab of the "Options" window.

4. Check "Add signatures to all outgoing messages" to include a signature. Check "Don't add signatures to Replies and Forwards" if you do not wish to use signatures for such emails.

5. Click "New" to create a new signature file.

6. Click "Rename," type a new, descriptive name for the signature and press "Enter."

7. Type the text you wish to use in the "Edit Signature" text box. Alternatively, click "File" at the bottom of the window and browse to a text file that contains your text.

8. Click "Advanced" and select the account for which to use the selected signature. If you only have a single account, you do not need to perform this step.

9. Click "Set as Default" to choose the newly created signature for adding to emails. If you later wish to change this selection, click another signature from the "Signatures" box and click "Set as Default."

10. Click "OK" to save your changes.
