I was just wondering why signature font sizes set in pixels sometimes suddenly become gigantic when received by outlook?

Looking at the source i see it has been converted to points. Why does this happen? All HTML emails are set in pixels and they work fine.

Do i take it that the rule of thumb for HTML signatures is to use points not pixels?

Many Thanks
Stephen

Your email signature font size should not increase in size -unless you scale by accident which happens to me sometimes.

Are you using the built-in eMailSignature designer? (Which version please?)

If you copy/paste from your preferred HTML editor to eMailSignature code view, please edit your HTML as in below example which works in all email clients:
Code:
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Sans-Serif" color="#f26522" style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt">Arial 8pt</font>

I'm not currently using email signature - i'm just looking into it.

When using pts for pixels size the font size is maintained.e.g:

Code:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td style="font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial; line-height: 120%;">Company Name<br />....
       </tr>
</table>



When using pxs the font will often become huge when received by other systems:

Code:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td style="font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none; font-size:12px; font-family:Arial; line-height: 120%;">Company Name<br />....
       </tr>
</table>


I just wondered if anyone knew why?
