Type in your Signature File
Save that file, in plain text format. (Remember where you saved it)
In Netscape, select Edit
Select Preferences
Double-click on Mail and Newsgroups

Down where it says, "Signature File", click on Choose
'Browse' and select the file you created
Select 'OK' and your signature file is in place

AOL
There's no automatic way to add a Signature File on AOL, but here is something close:
From the File menu, click New
Type in your Signature File
From the File menu, click Save. Name the file and select a location on your
computer. Don't forget this
When you want to include your signature file in a message, from the File menu,
click Open. Go to the location of your Signature File, highlight the filename you
used, and click Open
Highlight all the text to select it
From the Edit menu, click Copy (or 'CTRL C')
Go back to the Write Mail form, position your cursor where you want the
signature to be, and click Paste from the Edit menu (or 'CTRL V')
Your Signature File is now inserted into your message
