Why Does Thank You Show in Blue in Hotmail Email

Customize a new email message in Outlook.com by using the many options Outlook offers. No matter what type of message—personal or business —you're writing, you can always find a way to add your unique style.

You can add an attachment or an image (a picture, texture, or graphic), change fonts, insert a list, a signature, and more.

You can set the level of importance for a message so that recipients can see the indicator in their Inbox before they open it. Setting the level of importance also lets recipients sort their messages by importance.

To change the importance of your message, select the three dots at the top of the new message you're writing and then select Set importance. You can choose High, Normal, or Low.

1. Select the Attach icon at the bottom of the email message box.

2. Choose whether you want to attach a file from Computer or from Cloud locations.

3. Navigate to the location of the file, select the file, and then select Open.

If you want to add an image that displays in the body of your email, you can add an inline image.

1. Select Insert pictures inline next to Send at the bottom of the email message box.

2. Browse to the location of the picture file on your computer, select the file, and then select Open.

Emoticons, also known as emoji, are graphics that convey an emotion. You can add a variety of emoticons to your messages. You can also choose from popular GIFs to add to your messages.

• To insert an emoticon, select the Emoji icon at the bottom of the email message, scroll to Popular emojis, and then choose an emoticon.

• To insert a GIF, select the Emoji icon at the bottom of the email message, scroll to Popular GIFs, and then choose a GIF.

Note:Not all email programs display emoticons the same way. An emoticon that is colorful on one client might be translated into its symbols in another. For example, might show up in the recipient's message as :-).

You can give your email message some flair by changing the text font, size, color, and style.

1. Select Show formatting options next to Send at the bottom of the email message box. The formatting ribbon appears.

2. Select Font and choose the font you prefer to write in. You can also change the font size, font color, make the text bold, or underline, or italicize, or even highlight part of your email message.

You can use bulleted or numbered lists to show steps, action items, or key takeaways in your email message.

• To add a bulleted list in your email message, select Show formatting options next to Send at the bottom of the email message, and then select Bullets .

• To add a numbered list in your email message, select Show formatting options next to Send at the bottom of the email message, and then select Numbering .

Insert a table to add structured information in rows and columns in your email message.

1. Create a new message or reply to an existing message.

2. At the bottom of the compose pane, select > .

   

3. Drag the pointer to choose the number of columns and rows you want in your table.

Create an email signature that appears at the end of your email messages.

1. At the top of the page, select Settings > View all Outlook settings.

2. Select Mail > Compose and reply.

3. In the text box, type your email signature. You can change the font, size, color, and the appearance of your signature from the options available in the ribbon on top of the text box.

4. If you want to include your signature in new messages only, select the check box next to Automatically include my signature on new messages I compose. If you want to add your signature to the messages you forward or reply to, select Automatically include my signature on messages I forward or reply to. If you prefer both options, select both the check boxes.

5. Choose Save when done. Your email signature will now appear on new messages, or on your replies, or on both depending on your selection.
