Rich Text / HTML signature with Mail

I'd like to create a rich text / html email signature in Mail. I've written an html page with color, logo, text..etc. How can I do this ? I've gone into preferences signature and when I paste the html code...you guessed it ...all I see is the code .

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4), 2 GB Memory 1.83 Intel Duo

open your html file in safari. select all contents using command+c and then paste it into the signature composition window in Mail preferences using command+v.

Whilst looking for one of my old posts about it... I found this one by V.K. Does the method suggested still work?

yes, that method still works but copy+paste is easier which is why i didn't mention it before. I can't understand why copying would be disabled in safari in an html document. of course cut and paste would be but copying should certainly work.

copy and paste works totally fine on that page for me. you have to select something first of course. you can select all using command+a for example. then do command+c to copy and paste it into a signature composition window. works for me with no issues with your website.
