How to make a nice .sig file using CSS

Melvin Rivera has written an excellent illustrated tutorial on how to create a CSS signature in Mail.app.

He provides detailed instructions and a sample template, from which you can quickly create a signature of your own:

CSSsig

Of course, this will only work if you are happy to operate in Rich Text format. If you are an old-fashioned plain texter (like me), this tip is not for you.

UPDATE: Melvin has updated his post with some extra information on how Gmail handles CSS.

    The images are giving me trouble when i replace the webarhcive file with my own. The correct images and css coding appear in the preview window in the signature tab. when i create a new email and use the signature I created, the image doesnt appear. I see a little blue box with a question mark where the image is supposed to be. Can anyone help me out? I installed this plugin thinking it would help… but no dice.
