 Create Your ICQ Email Signature

Specify In Your Email How You Can Be Reached Via ICQ
You can receive instant online response to your e-mail messages by including your ICQ addresses in the signature part of your e-mail. Prepare a signature for your e-mail and attach it to each e-mail message you send. This will enable BOTH users who have ICQ, as well as those who don't, to send you messages directly to your computer screen. ICQ Users may respond through ICQ, while other users may do so through your Personal Communication Center, EmailExpress you or visit your Personal ICQ Homepage (if you enable it).

Your Four ICQ Contact Addresses
Each ICQ User gets four contact options upon registration:
  • An ICQ number
  • A Personal Communication Center
  • An EmailExpress address
  • A Personal ICQ Homepage
(For more information see our Standard Suite).
If you present these options in your e-mail, the recipients may respond in four ways.
