Now for my learning question this time around--Is the signature that I developed (developed following the steps I gave in my earlier message)plain text? Is there a security problem with the signature I developed? It seems to me that is is simply plain text as the rest of my message--just in bold letters, a larger font size, and in a different font. Am I correct in this thinking? Thanks again for helping me get my knowledge base in line.

David, You probably remember me from my past problems...the old man learning the computer world as he goes. Now for my learning question this time around--Is the signature that I developed (developed following the steps I gave in my earlier message)plain text? Is there a security problem with the signature I developed? It seems to me that is is simply plain text as the rest of my message--just in bold letters, a larger font size, and in a different font. Am I correct in this thinking? Thanks again for helping me get my knowledge base in line. Frog How do you get a different font, font-size, and bold? That cannot be done with plain-text. At the minimum, it requires HTML-formatting, for which there is no security problem. However, some users will display that as ASCII-formatted, negating the effort you put into designing your signature. If you are concerned about conveying the content of your signature, HTML-formatting is betting than an image file. If you are more concerned about the aesthetic impact of your signature, not everyone will receive that impact. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/.

Frog I was about to give up on this signature attempt when I learned about the Attachment of the signature being a problem.

Here is what I did (starting from the SeaMonkey Inbox): 1. Clicked Compose 2. Added an Address, Subject, and a Message Text. 3. I then clicked the selection V at the end of the small window containing Variable Width typed in it. (This small window is located under the subject space and above the message space.

Frog The recipient will see your signature in Script MT Bold only if he or she has installed that font. According to http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/index.shtml, that font appears on only 58% of Windows systems and not at all on Mac or Linux systems. While browsers such as Firefox and SeaMonkey support Web fonts -- where you can cause a Web page to use fonts from your server even if they are not on the user's system -- I don't think any E-mail application has that capability, either for composing and sending messages or for receiving and reading messages. Furthermore, there are still a number of individuals who view E-mail only in ASCII. None of them will see your signature in Script MT Bold even if they have installed that font. NOTE WELL: Before anyone revives the argument about ASCII-formatted E-mail verus HTML-formatted E-mail, please note that I did not say anything about favoring one or the other. I merely said that some individuals do favor ASCII-formatted E-mail. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/.
