Solve : .sig file extension??

Answer»

My mother is trying to open an e-mail attatchment from a contractor who sent her a quote for some work done on her house. the file has an extension of .sig though, and I've never heard of this...does anyone know what program associates with this extension?Are you sure the contractor send the right THING?
This site got some suggestions on what a sig file could be:

But I'm more inclined to believe its just a signature file.

Try opening it in notepad or some other basic text editor.I tried opening it in notepad and wordpad, and it's the standard jibberish that shows up when it doesn't know what the heck it is. I just told her to email the man back and tell him to send it to her in another format.

Thanks for the attempt, though. much appreciated.I don't know what email program your mom uses, but ".sig" file should be readable in OUTLOOK, or Outlook Express.
As the previous poster said, it's most likely just signature file.The file is a document file created by Printemaster software from Broderbund. I have yet to find a free viewer to view files in this proprietary format. The software is very cool, but they should allow the files to be saved in portable formats such as html or pdf but I don't know if they do yet.

As previously posted, .sig is usually a signature file to be used with Outlook or Outlook Express. Using a .sig file as an attachment for makes no sense.

I gather the contractor did not put any of the quote info in the body of the message. Right? While the sender could edit a .sig file and put info besides the BUSINESS name, phone #, etc., which is what a .sig file would normally contain, it seems quite odd to do so; in other words, they could edit the .sig file and put the work quote info in it, but it would be easier to just put the info in the body of the message or attach a text file.

I suggest your mother simply call the contractor or reply to the email and state that she can not open that attachment. The .Sig file you are refering to is a propietary file used by broderbund The Print Shop Deluxe software. Locating a viewer for the file is hard. Best response, have the contrator save the file as a .PDF and resend it to you.so the contractor drew up the quote and decided to use a proprietary format for a child-oriented software program.

Possible...Pity this topic is over a year old...
