Signature formatting lost - 2 questions

Q1. I've created an email signature in both *.htm and *.rtf formats using
Ctrl+Enter for line breaks. When I create an email the signature looks
perfect with the line breaks in place but when I send myself a test message
some of the line breaks are removed and 6 lines of text become 3. I noticed
that the email appears the same way in my Sent Items too. I have tried using
a table with a line of text per row but the end result is the same.
Q2. There are 2 hyperlinks in my signature - my email address and my
company's website. Again, when I create an email with the signature the
hyperlinks are visible and appear to be active but when I send myself a test
message the hyperlink to my email address displays the text but the hyperlink
is inactive and the web address includes the URL in <brackets> despite
specifying how I want the hyperlink displayed.

If anyone can help me out with these problems it would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried using SHIFT+ENTER instead of CTRL+ENTER?

Hey Jocelyn,

Sorry for the late reply; I was on leave in NZ.

I actually meant SHIFT+ENTER but typed CTRL+ENTER. So I'm afraid both
problems still exist.

CTRL+ENTER usually results in a blank line between rows, whereas SHIFT+ENTER
removes those blank lines...not sure why a table wouldn't work properly,
though.

First, what version of Outlook is this? Second, where are you creating your
signatures? In Outlook or in some other HTML editor?

Hey Jocelyn,

Yeah, I'm not sure why a table won't work either!?!

I've tried using the advanced edit in Outlook 2003 plus *.rtf format in Word
2003 and also *.htm format in FrontPage 2003. None of them work.
