Setting up an email signature

An email signature is some text (usually identifying yourself, but it can be anything) that is automatically added onto the end of every email message that you send using Outlook Express.

It saves you having to type your name and any other information (for example, contact details) that you usually sign off with at the end of an email.

To set up an email signature in Outlook Express:

1. Launch Outlook Express.
2. Click on the Tools menu and then select Options.
3. From the Options window, click on the Signatures tab at the top. The following screen displays:
   
   
   
   
4. Click on the New button to create a new signature.
5. Type your signature into the text box.
6. If you want the signature to be automatically added to the end of every message, select the Add signature to all outgoing messages check box.
7. Click OK to close the window and save your changes.

Want to add your signature to selected messages?

If you didn't select the Add signature to all outgoing messages check box, you can select which messages to add the signature to by selecting Signature from the Insert menu in Outlook Express.
