How do I setup an eCard in Windows Mail (Vista / 7) / Outlook Express?

  • Time: 15 - 30 min
  • Difficulty: Medium
    When you receive the eCard attached to an email.
    Right click the attachment and "Save As" to a safe place, usually My Documents. 
    DO NOT rename the file name.
 
    From the top menu bar click ' Tools ' then from the drop down choose ' Options '.
    Choose the ' Signatures ' tab.
 
    Once on the ' Signatures ' tab screen, under the ' Signatures ' section click the ' New ' button to
    add a new signature.

    Now click the ' File ' radio button at the bottom of the display box.

    Next click the ' Browse ' button.
 
    After clicking ' Browse ' find the file that we had sent you earlier.  We suggested you place it in
    the ' My Documents ' folder.

    Select the drop down box next to or below the 'file name' box.

    Choose ' HTML files (*.htm; *.html) ' selection.

    Select the signature.html file that should have just appeared. 

    Click the ' Open ' button.

    Now under the ' Signature settings ' heading,
    check the box next to 'Add signatures to all outgoing messages.'

    Click the ' Apply ' button (but do not click OK or Cancel).
   
    Select the ' Security ' tab.

    Under the ' Download Images ' header,
    uncheck the ' Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail ' box.

    Click the 'Apply' button then click 'OK'.

    Now create a new email, the signature should be at the bottom of the message.

    Remember, we are looking for a .htm or .html file of your name.

     NOTICE:   If you're not finding your file, please make sure you placed it in a folder that you
    remembered.  If that is not the problem, then be sure to have the
    ' Files of type: ' selected to ' HTML Files ' - this will show all .htm or .html files.
