When using Outlook for email, is there a way to insert...let's say a jpeg logo as a signature line?

I'm sitting here scratching my bald head and must be missing something very obvious....:sqembarrassed:

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
 
Looks like you can if you use HTML or RTF format for your email

For an HTML signature:
  1. Choose Tools | Options | Mail Format.
  2. Make sure the default format is set to HTML.
  3. Click Signature Picker.
  4. On the Signature Picker dialog, select the signature, then click Edit.
  5. On the Edit Signature dialog, click Advanced Edit. This will open the .htm file for the signature in your system's default HTML editor.
  6. Use your HTML editor's tools to insert a graphic.
  7. Save the file and click OK until you return to Outlook.
If you don't have an HTML editor, you can locate the .htm file for the signature in your Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures folder, then edit it in Notepad to add an HTML image tag like this:
<img border="0" src="file:///E:/Pix/Sliplogo.gif">​
You can also use either of these techniques to add other HTML tags to your signature -- to play sounds, run marquees and generally make a signature so busy and junky that people stop reading your mail.
For an RTF signature:
  1. Choose Tools | Options | Mail Format.
  2. Make sure the default format is set to Rich Text.
  3. Click Signature Picker.
  4. On the Signature Picker dialog, select the signature, then click Edit.
  5. On the Edit Signature dialog, click Advanced Edit. This will open the .rtf file for the signature in your system's default RTF editor, Word or WordPad.
  6. Use the editor's tools to insert a graphic.
  7. Save the file and click OK until you return to Outlook.

Haven't retrieved ours from the site yet. Just got the email today and we just finished a meeting and signing contracts for a December wedding (Photos and Pics). :)

Dang, you guys are fast and good! :clap:

We're wanting to use our logo in the signature line....
 
I actually use Outlook Express for our business email and it doesn't have the options that regular Outlook does. Anybody know how to do that before I migrate to regular Outlook? Thanks!
The old man doesn't know what he's typing about! :sqwink:

You could just create a Stationary to use in Outlook.... but it's definately not near as flexible.
