Adding animation to Signature: Eudora

 

 

 

 

              Do you like your email signature in Eudora simple and classy. Of course, this also includes a small, simple and classy animation. Using an animated gif file in your Eudora signature allows you to add some extra look or just to have some fun.

Eudora allows for little flexibility and formatting power when you add an animation to your signature, and it's also a little bit more complicated than it should be. But this article will get this done.

Steps to add an animated image to a your email signature in Eudora:   

•     Create a new signature.

            ^ Of course, you can also edit an existing one, but I'd recommend start with a new signature first.

•     Type your signature text.

        ^ Make sure you use some HTML formatting in it somewhere so Eudora adds the necessary HTML code.

•     Hit "Ctrl key + S".

•     Find and open your "Eudora folder" in Windows Explorer.

•     Go to the "Signature directory".

•     Double-click the {signature name}.txt file.

            ^ Alternatively, open this file in your favorite plain text editor. 

•    Edit the file to include '<img src="{path to your animated gif}" />' (without the outer, but including the inner set of quotes) where you want to place the image.

•    Make sure "{path to your animated gif}" points to the animated gif and follows this format: "file:///C:/Documents and Settings/...".

•     "Save" the text file.

•     your new signature is ready in Eudora.

        Don't be alarmed if the animation disappears shortly after showing up in the signature. It will display for the email's recipient.

 

These steps can be followed for Eudora installed in Windows XP and Windows 7.
