Can you help an Outlook 2007 newbie?I used to use outlook express, but installed Office 2007 suite and want to use Outlook 2 problems 1. I have 3 email accounts. I want to use a signature with html hyper-link. I set it up in Tools/Options/Mail Format/Signatures. I gave it a name in the upper box and put my message, with the hyperlink, in the lower box. On the right, I selected <none> for the first and second email accounts, and selected the signature name that I want for the third account. I did a 'save'. However, when I make a new email, and select the third email account, the signature doesn't appear. What am I doing wrong? 2. Messages that I receive that have graphics give me the message 'outlook prevented automatic download of this picture from the internet'. How can I turn this off so everything is downloaded and displayed? Thank you for your help. 1. Make a signature that is called Blank that has just two dashes (so you
can see where it begins). Use this instead of no signature. See http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/signatures.htm 2. tools, options, junk email... or r-click on the infobar and choose the change settings option. -- Show quoteHide quoteDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-requ***@lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQU***@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

1. Fixed. 2. Tools/Options/Junk Email opens to a window where there are 8 options. None of them show anything like how to turn on viewing pictures. This isn't junk email...just regular stuff. I get a weekly newsletter that contains graphics that I can no longer see, but I want to. Any suggestions? I am using 2007.

opened message - where it says 'click here to download picture' ) and choose the option to change download settings. -- Show quoteHide quoteDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-requ***@lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQU***@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

When you then change the sending account to another account that also has a signature, whose signature will appear. But when you switch to an account without a signature and back again to an account that has one, the signature won't appear. This is due to that the signature style is deleted from the message when you change the account ¡V and it doesn't come back when you switch to an account that has a signature. Therefore use a blank signature for the accounts that has no own signature. http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/signatures.htm > 2.

As suggested by Diane in another reply, I set up a blank signature with just a couple of dashes. That worked. I still can't see graphics in my emails. I get a weekly newsletter that has graphics that I would like to see. I went to Tools/Options/Junk Email and there are 8 choices, but none of them are "Security", and there isn't any Button "Change Automatic Download Settings". Perhaps you are referring to a different version of Outlook. I am using Office Outlook 2007. Any suggestions?

> I went to Tools/Options/Junk Email You have to go to Tools | Options | "Security" tab | Button "Change Automatic Download Hmmm... I've been following this thread with interest and I don't have a
Security tab. Just Preferences, Mail Setup, Mail Format, Spelling and Other. Whenever I want to see pictures downloaded I just add that sender to my Safe Senders list. If I don't consider them a safe sender then for a once-only download I'll click "Download pictures" in the message header. Interesting that my Security tab is missing, though. I never missed it because I never knew it was supposed to be there.
