Well not exactly… unless we use a workaround. Highlight some text, apply your styling, and off you go.īut how about a link to your website? Can you apply a URL or any other HTML? Who would have known this would apply to signatures as well, ey? Format – Show Fonts and Show Colors brings up those ugly floating pallets.
The built-in option lets you add custom fonts and colours, simply by using the Format menu item, just like you would when you style text in your emails. However, everything will be “Helvetica 12, black, no HTML”. You can add text in the field on the left with any of the signatures selected. None of what follows does – at least not to me. Let’s stick with making a signature look ravishing first.Īdd new signatures with the plus button under the middle column, and delete them using the minus icon. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. You may have been asking yourself “How the hell can I associate one signature with an email account”, and the simple answer is “drag and drop”. Click the Signaures tab and you’re presented with a list of your email accounts on the left, a list of signatures in the middle, and the actual Signature Preview on the right, much like this: Open Mac Mail, then head over to Mail – Preferences. It gives me the rage every time I have to set this up, so perhaps these notes will help me and you when we’re faced with this dilemma again: setting up new Email Signatures in Mac Mail. For a feature so basic, something so ultra super simple, it has to be the most unintuitive thing ever about Mac OS X. It’s easy.One of the worst features ever about Mac Mail is the way it handles email signatures. To add the same signature on other devices, copy the text, pick up the other device and paste it. Just paste the signature in, and you’re good to go.
Now, all you need to do to is select your new signature, copy it, then switch to the Signature section in the Mail settings we discussed above. This works great until you paste it into Mail, whereupon the underline is added back. To remove the underline from a link, just tap the already-highlighted Underscore button in the text panel (the paintbrush panel that we already used to change fonts). Many email apps will automatically recognize links anyway, so you may not want bother with this. You can also make the link into an email, or a bookmark link. From there, a popover panel appears, letting you customize the URL and the display name. In Pages, any text can be turned into a link by tapping (or clicking) on it, and choosing Link from the contextual menu. You may also notice that I removed the underline from the link.
