HTML e-mail messages are all the rage, but not everyone uses an HTML capable e-mail client. Remember that before you click the send button. Now, all formalities aside, let's have some fun! Sure, you could bog the message down with heavy graphics and sounds that will most likely annoy the recipient, but what about making the message a bit more personal? Allow me to illustrate. Type out your name in Notepad. Okay, now autograph a piece of paper. See the difference? Great! Now, take that signature and throw it into your scanner (or use your friend's). Save the output as a tiny GIF image (legible, not too large), and use it in your default HTML mail signature. It's just one more way of putting a bit more of yourself into your electronic communications.
