Don't know for certain, but perhaps it is because in order to use animation, you must be using 'html' format for your mail. Are you using 'plain text' mail? Rootsweb only accepts plain text so they will not come to the list in that format. pat :@) FOLKLORE-L@rootsweb.com wrote: > I have finally learned how to upload signatures into my mail program to use on individual letters. I don't have the place checked that sends an automatic signature with each letter. I followed the directions on my help screen for this technique. I typed a letter. Hit insert. Clicked on one of my 11 (!!) signatures I saved, and a prompt came up saying: Warning: The signature file specified is not a valid text file. The signature feature has been disabled. Do you have a clue as to the problem? The files I uploaded are not just my name, but antimation too. Would that make a difference? I hope not, as this is what I want to use. Thanks ever so much.

No, I am in HTML but I know not to send to Rootsweb that way. Thanks for your input !!
