I used the site mail-signatures.com to create an HTML signature. However, when I go to File > Options > Mail > Signatures, and paste the HTML into the composition box, it shows the raw html code when I insert the signature when composing a message.

If I copy the html directly into .../AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Signatures/mysig.htm. It works (sort of). So question #1, is there a way to use this template via Outlook's Signature creator?
