#Make signature for email on mac professional
In this case, it is better to make an attractive impression, that is to create a professional and personalized email signature. If the recipient receives a lot of emails every day, they might not remember your name or your company after reading the message. I’m using Leopard.You probably don’t want your email to get lost in your recipient’s inbox. However, if you then select one of your OLDER signatures and then GO BACK to your latest signature, suddenly all of your signature links work. 3) Lastly, I found that composing a message in Mail after you’ve done this will show your signature with unclickable links. Maybe it made a difference in things working this time and then again, maybe I’m wrong. This time, I un-checked that box when I made my signature and maybe that made my signature work. 2) There’s a slight chance that there’s something about that Signature creation option in Mail that says “Use the same font as the message above” (or whatever the exact text says). 1) When you compose a message after following these steps, it may appear that your sig links are not “hot.” However, I’ve found that if you send out a message (note: I’ve only verified this under Hotmail and OS X), the links are indeed clickable by the recipient (except for the “aim” link).
OK…maybe it was my fault about the bad links I noted in the above posting. “There must be written text before and after the HTML entry!” … i don’t know why this works, but i’ve spend a long time trying out all kinds of methods, and then came across this side ( ) and implemented only the part where this is mentioned … worked great! I believe, that those who did get it to work might have had text before and after, but may not have realized that it this is why it worked.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.Ī reader has sent in this tip and think it may solve some of the problems people are having. Now, when you go to write an email make sure you have your new signature selected from the panel in your message window and everything should look slick. Once you move your webarchive Signature to the signature folder, and click replace and you should be good. You do this so when you drop that webarchive file into signatures folder it will overwrite the FAKE signature. The title of the FAKE signature you created will look something like “8D2D5125-757A-482F-A291-EFDFEE476000.” Copy that title, and make that the title of the Webarchive file you just created. In there you will see the signature you created in Mail’s preferences (you can see what the most recent signature is using quick-look in Leopard, or look at the “date modified”). Next, go to your home folder->Library->Mail->Signatures. Next, open your HTML file in safari, and click “save as” in the menubar. Now drag title of your signature to whatever email account you want to be able to use it with (or drag it to all). This will serve as a place-holder for your new HTML signature. I have called mine FAKE for purposes of the tutorial. Here you want to create a new signature, and give it a fancy name since it will be for your new fancy signature. Next, you want to navigate to Mail’s preferences (or hit the shortcut ?,). You will need to upload your avatar to your server, or host it on something like a box.net account (you’ll have to make sure it’s public if you use this).
You can use something like Apple’s Textedit, my favorite Textmate, or something more visually based like Dream Weaver. NOTE: These directions work with Apple’s Tiger and Leopard.Ĭreate your signature in html format. Since I set up that signature I have had a few folks inquire how I made it, so I thought I show the steps here.

My good friend and designer, James LaCroix, showed me awhile back how to make an html email signature for Apple’s Mail program (something it doesn’t do easily).
