How to Make a Signature in OS X Mail
Signatures are blocks of text that are appended to outgoing email messages. They typically contain contact information from the sender, and sometimes an aphorism or quote that the writer wishes to include. They may also include a block of legal text informing the sender that the email should be kept confidential. Mac OS X Mail allows you to create multiple signatures, then choose which one to include on your outgoing mail.
