Creating a Signature

A signature is a brief piece of text automatically appended to the end of outgoing messages. The signature consists of one or more lines listing your name and e-mail address. You may include other information, such as phone number, postal address, fax number, or place of employment. One good rule to remember is to keep it simple; nobody wants to read your life history with each mail message they receive.

1. From the Special menu choose Signature. A blank Signature window will appear. Enter your signature text in this window.
   
2. Close the Signature window; a dialog box will appear to verify your additions or changes. Make the appropriate selection.
3. You can activate your signature in two ways:
4. Select the Use Signature option in the Switches... dialog box of the Special menu.
5. Select or unselect the signature icon for each message you send.
6. Note: Only the recipient(s) will see the signature text. You will not see your signature as you are writing out your messages.
