Finishing Your Emails with a Flourish

I always like to end things on a high. That’s why I love being able to add a special signature at the end of my emails. Just a little something that’s all mine, with some contact details thrown in for good measure. You can do it too. Add a saying, a proverb, a phrase that sums you up. It’s up to you how you sign off.

It’s easy to do, just start by click on Options, then selecting Mail Options. In the center of the page after “Signature:” select “Show a signature on all outgoing messages”. On the far right of the message window above the text area click either Plain Text (yawn) or Rich Text (cool and colorful stuff) before you start writing your signature in the text area. As you can see from mine I opted for Rich Text, and even included a sprinkling of HMTL. There isn’t an option to manually insert or edit HTML, but you can copy/paste from other pages if you have something you want to use. Finish off by clicking Save Changes, and you have a signature.
