Getting the Charity/Subscription Drive message out

Look what you can do with Gmail

from WinCustomize Forums
I've already added banners to my websites and facebook but I wanted to take it one more step.

I use gmail and added a sig with a link but it wasn't showy enough.  I really wanted to use the banner.
Since gmail doesn't support html formatted sigs it was research time . . and where did I go?  Google of course!

I found a Firefox extension called "Better gmail" at Lifehacker and it does what i wanted and more.

So now, every time i create or reply to email (using the web interface) I see (and receivers get):




How cool is that!!
