Can't find "Show Stationary" button.

Question

Can't find "Show Stationary" button.

I need some help. I really would love to send HTML emails with the built-in "Stationary" option... but I can't find the button to show the stationary. I've tried right-clicking on the the window and selecting "Customize Toolbar", but there is no "Show Stationary" button.

I might be overlooking something obvious, so can somebody call me an idiot and tell me what I need to do?

MacBook with 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, and 80 GB Hard Drive, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Steven,

Select "Help" in Mail and type in " Using stationery in messages" for an accurate description of the procedure, or click the link.

Thanks for the speedy reply, but that didn't help me one bit... if you read carefully the very first step says "In the New Message window, click Show Stationery." I can't see a Show Stationary button in my toolbar and when I try to customize my toolbar, there isn't a Show Stationary button to drag to the toolbar.

Click on new message to open a new message window. Control click on the gray toolbar area at the top of the window. A window should appear which has customize toolbar at the bottom. Drag the features you want to the toolbar including "show stationary".

Steven,

Now that the "New Mail" window is open, Select Mail>View>Customize Toolbar..., and drag "Show Stationery" to the toolbar. It will now show up on all new message windows.

I would suggest an Archive & Install of Leopard.

Has Stationery ever worked?

Adam,

An Archive and Install in this case is analogous to killing an ant with an elephant gun.

Thanks guys, I feel like a retard now.... Apparently there isn't an option for stationary when replying to someones email. It's only available when creating new messages.

<sarcasm>Silly me!</sarcasm>
