Resizing fonts

[Sysman]

best spend your time on the phone. most folk with any sense (mind you, clients...!!!!!) have html email disabled so your lovingly crafted sig will render in plain text.

WHS+

Plus there's the problem of testing. Testing a web page with the major browsers is achievable, but there are many more e-mail clients out there.

Oh, that's a good point. I'd be wary of including anything other than vanilla HTML in email sigs, maybe a little basic CSS but not more than that.

Didn't MS cause lots of problems by changing Outlook from using the IE web control to using the MS Word HTML engine? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

This can't be done in CSS. RH's JavaScript from Cameron Adams' site will work in a web browser, but not in an email client (or at least, not an email client any sane person would use).

You may also be interested in RFC 1855 ("Netiquette Guidelines") section 2.1.1, which states:

If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer than 4 lines.

For a long time now, my .sig on Slashdot has said:

Using HTML for email is like putting sound effects on your phone calls. Just say <em>no</em>.

That's a daft idea. When I resize a window it's because I want to be able to fit more text in it. It would be darned frustrating if the text just got bigger to compensate.
