In the past I’ve shown how to get an image into an email signature using a mail client. This time I’m going to show how it’s done with the Hotmail email service.
In the video below I purposely seek out an image using Google Images, however you can use any image that you already have. For the image hosting, I’m using min.us; I prefer this image sharing service over other freebies due to the fact it’s pop-up/under-free, ad-free and fast.
And because I know some people are going to ask:
Will this work with Gmail?
The answer is “sort of”. In Gmail you can embed an external image from a service like min.us, however instead of using “HTML Code” from that service, you use “Direct Link” instead to paste in your image URL.
Will this work with Yahoo! Mail?
No.

I know it wasn’t the point of the article, but min.us looks pretty cool. I’ll have to give that service a try.
