  • Publication number: 20050055627
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide an e-mail customization system that incorporates personalized images, including handwritten signatures, into existing e-mail messages. Specifically, the e-mail customization system generates customized software that integrates with existing e-mail systems that provides the ability to select different hand-written signatures. Once a signature is selected, the signature may be included in all e-mail sent from the user. A recipient capable of displaying HTML e-mail messages, views the e-mail message with the signature. This signature provides a readily discernable visual queue indicating the sender of the e-mail message. In case the recipient's e-mail system does not recognize HTML formatted messages, a clean copy of the e-mail message and an alternate text version of the image is added to the top of the HTML message.
