Set Up Signature File in Netscape 7

First, you must create the signature file using MS Word:

  1. Type the text for your sig file. Some of the info you might want to include: Your Name, Job Title, Your Department, Paradise Valley Community College, Your Phone Number
  2. You can format the text including: Bold, Font, Font Size, Color, etc.
  3. Save the file as Web Page, Filtered:
    From the File menu, select Save As
    In the Save As window,
    Make sure you include .htm at the end of the filename (I usually name the file, Signature.htm)
    At Save as type, select Web Page, Filtered
    Take note of where you are saving this file
    Click Save
  4. Close the file.

Next, you must tell Netscape to use your Signature file and where it is located on your computer:

  1. Make sure you are in Netscape Messenger (your Inbox) From the Edit menu, select Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings
  2. In the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings window make sure your email address is selected (left side of screen)
  3. Check the box for Attach this signature
  4. Click the Choose button
  5. In the Choose a file window, locate and select the signature file you created. (Windows TIP: you may have to set files of type to All Files in order to see your sig file.) Click the Open button.
  6. Make sure the box is checked for "Compose messages in HTML format.
    Note: (Netscape 7.2 this checkbox is located on Composition & Addressing area of Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings.)
  7. Click OK to close the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings window.

The next time you compose a new message, your signature lines should automatically appear at the bottom of the message.
