How do I specify a default Signature for all outgoing messages?
- Select the Mail -> Options menu item
- Select the Signature tab
- Select the Text option then type the text that you wish to have appended to all of your outgoing email messages (ie: Your name, web site address, corporate slogan, etc.). It is a good idea to leave a few lines of blank space at the beginning of your signature contents. This will guarantee that there will always be some space between the end of your message and the beginning of your signature.
- Alternatively, if you have an existing signature text file saved on your computer, select the File option, click on the Browse button, navigate through your computer and then double-click on the appropriate file name to enable it as your Signature.
