I
have come to enjoy using OE 6 extremely
and firmly believe it's the best & most
versatile e-mail program out there. A version
of Outlook Express comes built in with Win98
but is most likely version 4, so you will
need to upgrade your software to version
6, some of these pieces of stationery were
designed prior to the new release but every
effort has been made to make them compliant
with any version 5 package, if you upgrade
the Internet Explorer to version 6 the OE
6 comes with it, both are outstanding programs,
IMHO (in my humble opinion) Internet Explorer
6 is the best browser online today! :o)
Granted
there are several ways of sending and receiving
your e-mail, but the Outlook Express is
truly the most fun & functional!!! It
enables you to utilize many of your systems
capabilities through HTML, JAVA, VBS, CSS,
DirectX scripting and the list goes on,
it's wonderful!!!
There
are a few settings you may need to adjust
to fully optimize the way you're able to
use your OE, but well worth learning, it's
really not that difficult. I've included
a few helpful
hints for you here. Once you
have your settings
optimized you're ready to begin
using what I have offered here, and may
even become inspired to begin making some
of your own stationery as well! ;-)
If you have ANY problems viewing these samples
then check the
Viewing Helps section
to be sure your system has all the current
updates available for your
computer. There are system requirements
with all of these updates so please read
them carefully. For more specific instructions
on using Outlook Express check
here!
Now
rather than give you a thumbnail offering
of the stationery I have made to share with
you, I have incorporated it in a manner
you will see exactly what your receiver
will be seeing, as long as you follow the
instructions included with each piece. The
manner in which you type on these will vary
from piece to piece, but you and your recipient
are sure to enjoy them, once you become
accustom to using the stationery, everything
else will seem quite blasé to you

I
have packaged these pieces in 2 ways,one
copy is zipped to help speed up download
time and one is not, for those who don't
want to mess with unzipping. The .eml files
have to be download and or unzipped to a
folder anywhere you choose on your HD, but
I recommend making the new folder easy to
access, like on your Desktop or in My Documents
for example and name the new folder something
like "Ready to Mail Stationery".

The
zipped version
for experienced users is smallest and fastest
to download, you just need to take note of
where you unzip it too so you can find it!
;o) Either way you choose to download is fine
just select save this file to disk when the
download box pops up after clicking on the
download icon as shown below. Then you will
simply go to that folder and click on the
envelope icon of your selection which automatically
opens in OE ready for you to begin your new
message. :o) If your new stationery doesn't
automatically open in Outlook Express for
you then you need to read how to make some
adjustments here.
Then you'll be setup and ready to send mail
at any time with no more hassle! :o) |
One other fun point
to add here is, when you right
click the title line beside the icon to
download the .eml files and select "Save
target as", then the box pops up
and you select "Save to disk",
directing it to go into your "Ready
to Use Stationery" folder, when the
download is complete, if you select "Open"
the file will pop up ready for you to
use right now! At that time a clean copy
is already stored away in your folder
ready for you to send again and again,
pretty neat huh? So if while your here
browsing and you see one you think someone
you know will enjoy feel free to right
click on the .eml icon and when transfer
is finished click open and send your new
message, they'll be so pleased to hear
from you! If they enjoyed your mail, tell
them to come help themselves to some from
my collection as well. For help in using
