• If you want to create a signature containing custom fonts or graphics, design the signature using a word processor or HTML editor and save it as an HTML file. Then follow the steps above to select that file as a signature.

Use signatures on all e‑mail messages

If you want to automatically include the default signature in all of your messages, select the Add signatures to all outgoing messages check box.

Choose specific signatures for different e‑mail and newsgroup accounts

To use different signatures for specific accounts, click the signature you want to use, click Advanced, and then select the check box next to the account you want to use the signature with.

When using multiple signatures, you can choose which signature will be used by default. Click the signature you want to use, and then click Set as default.

Use signatures only on specific messages

If you want to manually choose when to include a signature in your message, ensure that the Add signatures to all outgoing messages check box is cleared. Then, when you want to add a signature to a specific message, click the Insert menu in the message window, point to Signature, and then click the signature you want to use.
