Subject: ActiveX functionality in Emails??


Hi S

I would like to setup the OUR COMPANY NAME Gif signature card in my
email.

Can you let me know how I get my Email to do this?

Cheers
J

Hi J

The OUR COMPANY NAME email signature that people are using, (the animated one) is not an official OUR COMPANY NAME signature.
It was just sort of adopted by a few people.

If you use it virtually everyone you send it to will get an ActiveX error when they open your email, your email spell checker will not work and if you do try to use it outlook will crash.

Do you still want it?
S

One of the nicer things of being the only I.T. guy is the ability to send out a blanket email with the "Effective immediately, you will NOT..."

I wish I could e-mail everyone in my company and say "Effectively immediately you will NOT type e-mails in MS Word and then send them as an attachment. It's plain text ffs!!"

"Oh, I am sorry that violates the RFC for email"

...and then config the mail server to strip all HTML from emails :)
