Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide an e-mail customization system (200) that incorporates personalized images, including handwritten signatures (228), into existing e-mail messages. Specifically, the e-mail customization system generates customized software that integrates with existing e-mail systems and that provides the ability to select different handwritten 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 messages with the signature. 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. In addition, methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention include handwritten signatures into web-based (222) e-mail systems and electronic greeting cards. |
