From the Saturday Herald's computer section, Q&A column:

Q: I would like to include a logo, colours and fancy letters in my signature file. How can I do this using Outlook Express?

A: The easiest way is to create a .gif image that combines your logo and any of the text you want to display near it.
[Followed by instructions on how to do this, including animated signatures, with exactly zero words given to the question of whether one should do this.


I can forgive the questioner's ignorance, but as for the columnist... death is too good for 'em.

You wait. Soon they'll be adding music and video clips to .sig files. Mark my words...

*cough*

Flash.

Or executable code. Hm. I could be the first person in the world to embed a web service in a .sig file.

This has potential.

Still angling for that Prince of Darkness position, eh?

Settling for Prince would lack ambition.

Something lingering, with boiling oil in it, I fancy.

Heh.  Let the punishment fit the crime, indeed!

I've always thought it would be nice to make the culprit manually copy out one of the ensuing files, byte by byte (or bit by bit, for repeat offenders), then re-enter it.

You are a sick, perverted, evil, twisted man...I like that in a person!  *grin*
