To use stationery with outgoing messages

With Outlook Express stationery, you can create attractive messages for both e-mail and newsgroups. Stationery can include a background image, unique text fonts, any text or file you want to add as a signature, or your personal Business Card. (A Business Card is your contact information from the Address Book in "vCard" format. The vCard format can be read by any type of computer or digital device.)

When you create stationery, your font settings and/or stationery picture are automatically added to all outgoing messages. However, you can choose to have your Business Card and/or signature added to either all messages or individual messages.

1. On the Tools menu, click Stationery.

2. On the Mail tab, select the stationery elements you want to include in mail messages. To add stationery to news messages, click the News tab.

Tips

• You can add stationery backgrounds to individual messages by clicking the Compose menu, pointing to New message using, and then clicking a background.
• For Help on a dialog box item, click at the top of the dialog box, and then click the item.

• When you attach a Business Card to messages, a Business Card stamp is displayed in the upper-right corner of the window.
