Chapter 45. Making Email Look Pretty

Typing plain ol' text in an email message may be functional, but it's also a bit boring. To make your email look prettier, the Mail program includes stationery and signatures. Stationery provides pretty graphics for holding text and pictures. Signatures let you include text at the end of every message you send, such as your name and phone number or a funny saying that you want to share with others.

Project goal: Learn to use stationery and signatures to create visually interesting email messages.

  • The Mail program configured to work with an email account
