    1. Create an HTML file for your ticker. To do this, simply copy the text below into notepad, changing the ticker reference to the ticker you want to use.




      Make sure that you save the file as a .html (by putting quotes around the filename eg "ticker.html") or it will name it with a .txt extention.

    2. Choose Tools > Options and click on the Mail Format Tab
    3. In Message Format - Compose in this message format, select HTML
    4. Click on the Signature button to create a new signature.
    5. Enter a name for the new Signature (optional).
    6. Select 'Use this file as a template'.

My email/ISP isn't listed here

 Most of the time it is not your ISP that matters, but the email program that you are using to get your email, so please look through the above list to see if your email program is here. If you use a specialised email just for your ISP (such as AOL) or a webmail (like Optusnet's) that isn't listed here, please ask your ISP how you put images in your email signature.
