   .gif to .html
  Anyone have a quick and painless method to convert a .gif file to a .htm(l)?   When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon...
  Not off hand; why exactly would you want to do this?  GIF files are a graphic file format; html is a layout format.  I imagine you could create an ascii art or some such from the GIF, but I am really curious as to what you have in mind?(shouldn't be too hard to write either, minus the patent violations  )   [edited by - ChaoticCanuck on August 1, 2003 11:03:24 AM];  You can''t, to my knowledge, convert an image to a web page. You can include the image in your web page or set it as the background at best using HTML. ;  I believe it can be done. I''ve seen several sites advertising various techniques (none of them worked for what i was going for). The reason I want to do it is because outlook express can only use a .txt or a .html file as a signature. I have a scanned picture of a signed signature i wish to include at the bottom of every e-mail, and obviously saving it as a text file is no good. perhaps i could insert an HTML tag as i would on a website...

I''d prefer to just set it in the signature to auto attach for a few reasons. First off it''ll be in the right place. Second (and here''s the big one), this is for my boss and there is no way he''s going to have the patience to learn let alone do that each time. I''ll play with it a bit more.Thanks.

E-mail attachments, such as images, that are included can be incorporated in the message too. ;  CyberSlag5k - I''m sure you can set up a template e-mail. You know, like those horrific default ones with the checkerboard or party ballons.
