Use Email Stationery

Paper stationery usually adds a personal touch to your correspondence, especially when compared to the standard 8¹/2 x 11 blank sheet of paper. In Outlook Express, you can also create email stationery to add a more individual flair to outgoing messages. Included in most of OE's stationery is a background image, unique text font colors, and custom margins.

You can apply stationery to all outgoing mail automatically. Here's what to do:

Note that if you edit one of the predefined templates, it opens in a default Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) editor such as FrontPage. (I touch on how to set this default editor later in the chapter.)

Notice, too, that you can create new stationery. Click the Create New… button to launch the New Stationery Wizard. If you want to create email stationery that uses company letterhead, this is where you'll do it.

But maybe not every message needs stationery. You can also use stationery on a onesey-twosey basis with the following steps:

• On the Message menu, point to New Message Using, and then select a stationery style (the Create Mail toolbar includes an arrow that accomplishes the same thing),

  or

• After you've already started composing a message, choose the Format menu, select Apply Stationery, and then select a stationery style.
