Adding your own stationary to Mail

Does anyone know if it is possible to add my own stationary to the "Show Stationary" in mail? If so, how do you do it?

I can make my stationary in Photoshop Elements 4 but then how do I get it into Mail and in what format so I can type on it?

Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks, Berengaria

Hello Ber:

Open mail. Click on new message>show stationary>favorites. Drag your stationary template into the window.

Hi Barry,

I get my "Wheat paper" background in Custom but I can't put text on top of it. What am I missing?

What type of file does it have to be? I am trying to drag in a jpeg picture and it won't work.

Well, I found out how to do your own stationery here ( http://www.jdempsey.com/how-to-create-customized-osx-mail-stationery-in-leopard/) but I have to say I am very disappointed in Apple for teasing us by saying we can make our own, then not telling us how, and then making it so hard. It sounds much too difficult for me. I hope they can do something about this in their next update.

Thanks all for your input.
