What is a signature file?

A signature file (or 'SigFile') is a block of text that automatically attaches itself to the bottom of your e-mail messages.
It's a way of "signing off" and usually contains your name and contact details.
Now you can take it a stage further, and add some real personality
with your choice of art. What do signature files look like?

 

Anatomy of a signature file.

Just click on the art you'd like, substitute your details
and away you go...

If you don't know much about computers, don't worry. Each 'SigFile' download comes with a complete set of instructions which you can also find at the bottom of this page.
Here's how to use signature files with your favourite mail program.

 

General approach

     

    Because mail programmes vary and change so quickly, a general common sense approach may be all you need. If you don't have any success with the two approaches below, try the individual programme guidelines underneath.

     

    Open your mail programme > click on help (F1) > and enter 'signatures' in the search or index box. Follow the instuctions.

    OR

    Do a general search on your entire computer for the term 'signatures'. If signatures are kept in a specific folder, this will show where it is

    and you can pop your ArtSales.com.au signatures in there. Don't forget to check the box allowing 'search hidden files and folders' before you start.

     

    For Outlook and Outlook Express the signature folder is usually

    C:\ Documents and Settings \ YOUR USERNAME \ Application Data \ Microsoft \ Signatures

 

 

 

 

Outlook and Outlook Express

 

    1. Select your signature and copy it. (Ctrl A + Ctrl C)
    2. Click on New message
    3. Select Tools and then click Options
    4. Select Signatures tab
    5. Click on the New button and name your signature
    6. Paste in your signature! (Ctrl V)
    7. Select Add signatures to all outgoing messages.  (There's an option for Forwards and Replies as well)
    8. Click Ok

      STEP ONE
    1. Open Safari and then open your HTML .sig file within the browser
    2. Click on Go to > Save As > Format > .webarchive and save the file to your desktop
    3. STEP TWO
    4. Open Mail then go to Preferences > Signatures
    5. Go to your desktop and open a New Finder window (Apple N) and navigate to your Home folder (the house icon) in the left hand pane. From there, go to Library > Mail > Signatures
    6. Flick back to Mail > Preferences > Signatures (keep your Signatures Folder open – and visible – in the Finder window.)
      Go to All Signatures (left hand pane) click + to add a signature, and note which file appeared in your Signature Folder.
    7. Grab this signature from the folder and put it on your desktop. (Still keeping your Signature Folder open and visible...)
    8. STEP THREE
    9. Close Mail
    10. Click onto the signature file you just moved to your desktop. Copy the file name. Put the file in the trash.
    11. Paste the copied file name over the .webarchive file name (the one you saved onto your desktop in Stage 1)
    12. Now drag this file back into your Signatures Folder. (Ok, there are more efficient ways of doing this bit, but this is the idiot proof part)
    13. STEP FOUR
    14. Open Mail > Preferences > Signatures
    15. Bingo, your signature is there. Don’t worry if it looks broken, it’ll be fine when you open it within your email
    16. Now click onto it in the middle pane – highlight it and name it –
      then drag it into the left pane, onto the email account that you want to select the signature for
    17. Open a new email, select the signature you just named – and there you have it
