Q: custom mail stationery

I am trying to create a custom mail stationery. This seems to me very complex and unnecessarily so.

 

Problems

 

Folder location

I cannot locate the folder where customer tmeplates are located. There are various posts but the directories suggested do not exts even after saving a customer stationery file.

 

This location suggesteed by Chris

~Library > Application Support > Mail > Stationery > Apple > Contents > Resources > Custom > Contents > Resources >

does not exist on my mac.

 

This dose but dos not contain any customer stationery that I can see...

Mac HD>Libary>Application Support>Apple>Mail>Stationery>Apple>Contents>Resources>Stationery> ...then Various Folders that match standard Stationery

 

Images

These do not attach to save as stationery.

 

Any help would be approciated...

 

System info

Mac OSX 10.8.5

    Use stationery in messages

     

    You can add a personal touch to a message by using stationery. For example, if you’re inviting friends to dinner, you can use the Dinner stationery to make your message look like a professionally printed invitation.

     

    Apply a stationery template

    In the New Message window, click the Stationery icon in the toolbar.

    1. To view the template choices, click a category, such as Announcements.
    2. To use a template, click its thumbnail.To try a different template, click another thumbnail.
      • You can change the background color of some templates by clicking the thumbnail. For example, click the Daisies thumbnail several times to see different background colors.
      • After you decide on a template, click the Stationery icon again to see more of the message area.
    3. If the template contains placeholder images, drag images from your desktop or the Finder over a placeholder.
      • If you have images on your Mac from using Aperture, iPhoto, or Photo Booth, click the Photo Browser icon in the message toolbar to view and select those images.
      • You can drag any folder of images onto the Photo Browser so that the images are easily accessible.
      • If the image is larger than the placeholder photo, double-click the image to display a slider you can use to zoom in on an area of the photo. You can also drag the image around to show a specific area.

    If you use a template often, add it to the Favorites category. Drag the thumbnail over the category list. To remove a favorite, select it and click Remove (x).

     

    Remove stationery


    To remove a template from your message, click the Original thumbnail in the Stationery category.

    Any text, images, or formatting you added is retained.

     

    Create your own stationery

     

    In a new message, enter and format your text, add images, and then choose File > “Save as Stationery.”

    Your custom stationery will be available in the Custom category, at the end of the list.

    I've tried and tried to create custom letterhead in Mail, but if I include artwork the receiver gets that little blue box with a question mark in it instead. I've followed the above advice, but same result.

     

    How do I create letterhead that can include a .jpg?

    You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
