A signature is a piece of text that is automatically attached to each message that you send, including new messages and replies to messages that you receive. They are typically used to provide additional contact information, legal terms, or some other reference information about each message. This article explains how to configure and use signatures in Thunderbird.

About signatures

An e-mail signature might look like this:

John Doe

Minion

The Big Example Organization

Create a signature from the Thunderbird account Setup interface. Click Edit | Account Settings , then, in the left panel, select the account you want to create a signature for.

If you have more than one account, you must configure a separate signature for each account.

Plain text Signature

To configure a plain text signature, enter the text in the signature text area that you want to attach to each outgoing message. Plain text signatures can be used in HTML and text messages.

... The result is ...

HTML Signature

To use HTML formatting in your signature, check use HTML and decorate the signature text to the desired HTML format. If the message you send is in text format (instead of HTML), the HTML markup literal character will be substituted.

... The result is ...

The signature saved in the file

As an option, you can upload a file that contains your signature. Select attach a signature from the alternate file and then click Select ... Select the file. Files can contain either plain text or HTML-formatted text. If you have an HTML-formatted signature, the recipient of the message must be able to display HTML-formatted messages in their e-mail program. If they turn this feature off, the signature will be shown in text format and the photo will not be displayed. One way to create a signature file is to use the Thunderbird writer. As an example, create a new HTML-formatted message ( file/new/message) in Thunderbird. Confirm that the Formatting toolbar is displayed.

(If it isn't, you're writing a text-formatted message instead of HTML.) To change to HTML format, select option/Send format/only multi-information (HTML) text. )

1. Write and format the signature you want. Note A number of formatting features are in the Insert and Format menu.

1. Click File/Save As/file. Verify that the HTML file is selected, then specify a file name and click Save.
2. Closes the message window and discards the message for saving.

1. Open the Account settings and select the email account located on the left panel.
2. Select the signature attached from the file , click Select to navigate to the file you created

Include picture files in your signature

To include a picture from your local computer in a signature, first create the HTML signature as described in the previous steps. When you are writing signature content, however, use the Insert/Picture menu option to specify the desired picture.

In addition to selecting picture files, use this dialog to configure other aspects of the picture, such as size, URL links, position in the text, and so on.

You can also specify a picture that is located on a Web server as your attachment. Simply specify the URL address of the picture and the file name. If you select " attach picture to Message ", the picture meeting attachment is included in the form. If you do not attach a picture, the recipient of the message must have an Internet connection to display the picture. Also, remember that for security reasons many people configure their mail programs to block remote content, which prevents the display of pictures unless it is appended to the message.

Using vcards

VCard a file format standard for Electronic business cards. A vCard can contain name and address information, phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, logos, photos, and so on. If the received message has a vcard attachment, Thunderbird displays the contents of the vcard as a signature. Thunderbird can be configured as an outgoing message to attach your VCard (either automatically or on a per-copy basis). See how to use a Virtual Card (VCard) guide.

Signature location

When you reply to a message, by default your signature appears after the text that is referenced at the end of the message. To change this mode, select Edit | Account Settings | < account name > | Write & Statement. The change response style is "start my reply before quoting." Next, change the settings from "and place my signature" to "after my reply (before reference)".

This setting can be configured for each account and for each identity.
