How do you include ASCII art on your Palm computer's mail signature? Here's how you can include ASCII art in your .sig, for people who use the built-in Mail program, MultiMail Pro 2, or HandMail.

Note: The directions for the built-in mail program should also work for TGPostman users, since TGPostman relies and builds upon the existing mail program. I have not verified this, though. I also apologize to One Touch Communicator users for not including instructions. I don't own a copy of OneTouch Communicator, and did not have time to get an unlock code before deadline.

If you use the built-in Mail program on a PalmPilot Professional or Palm III, you will find the signature screen in the Preferences window of the Mail program (which you can find by tapping the Menu silk-screen button and choosing Preferences from the Options menu), as shown in Figure B.

MultiMail Pro 2 users will find the signature screen in by tapping menu, then options, then Mail Server, then SMTP, then Signature, as shown in Figure C.

HandMail users should look in Signatures under the Setup menu, as shown in Figure D.

In any case, you can copy and paste your picture from the Memo Pad into the signature screen of your email program using either the Edit menu, or Command-C to copy and Command-P to paste.

To activate your signature in the built-in mail program, touch the New button, or select a message from the Drafts folder. Tap the Details button to bring up the Message Details window, then tap the Signature check box, as shown in Figure E.
