Using Email Signature in Outlook Express

Instead of typing a signature every time you send an email, let Outlook Express
automatically add and manage email signatures for you. Outlook Express can either
automatically append an email signature to every email you create, or let you manually
pick the most appropriate signature from a list, depending on occasion.

By default, Outlook Express does not enable any of

its signature settings, and you will have to
manually type your name for every email.
1) Click on Tools from Main menu.
2) Then Options
3) On the Options dialog that opens, select the
Signature tab.

To create a new signature,

1) Click the New button under the
section labeled Signatures.
