How do I put a permanent message on my emails
« on: Tuesday 01 July 08 18:32 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have a short sentence that I would like to have on every email I send.  Can this be done and if so how do I do it?

Any advice welcome,
Regards,
Abiam

Depending on your provider you may be able to add a signature.

With BT Yahoo I can add a message to all my outgoing mails. One can edit the colour and add pictures I believe. There is a tick box to enable you to turn it on or off.

Hi Abiam

I use the signature to put this message on all my emails:

You can help stop email address-harvesting and protect yourself and recipients by using the Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) option when sending to multiple addresses.
You should also delete all the attached addresses from a message before forwarding it on.

Hello both,
I tried the 2nd option but it wouldn't let me unless I pay for the honour!  Think I'll just type it!
Thank you,
Abiam

If you are using Outlook Express or Thunderbird, you can add a signature that can be used on every outgoing email. Does not matter which provider you are on.

Sound like you may be using a webmail based program.

Pete :) and   :)  Bren,

Thanks for your help this time I did it!

Perhaps you can help with another little problem.  I use OE and have Yahoo.  I cannot use the spellcheck.  It is greyed out any ideas,
Thanks,
Abiam

Hi Abiam

Glad you got there.

Sorry, I don't use IE or Yahoo.
Sounds like it's not an installed option.
