Adding a watermark to a disclaimer

SYMPTOMS

Outlook signatures allow the addition of a watermark or stationery type graphic to emails. How can the same effect be achieved using Exclaimer?

RESOLUTION

HTML supports simple background images using the BACKGROUND attribute on the <BODY> tag. There is no UI way to modify this, so direct editing of the disclaimer HTML is necessary.
  • Copy your watermark or stationery image to the Exclaimer UserFiles folder
  • Open your disclaimer in the Disclaimer editor
  • Click on the Source tab
  • Locate the <BODY> tag
  • Insert the BACKGROUND tag making sure that the path to the image file is correct.

    <BODY BACKGROUND="C:\Program Files\Exclaimer\UserFiles\watermark.gif">
  • Press OK
  • Press Save
  • Send a test email

MORE INFORMATION

It is important that the file is placed in the UserFiles folder as this ensures that Exclaimer has permission to this when disclaiming your emails.
