Using Eudora Signature Files

A Signature File is a file attached to an e-mail you compose, which then displays as text at the end of the e-mail message when the receiver reads the e-mail. Examples of signature files are contact information, or a common phrase which is commonly attached to the bottom of an e-mail you receive from a friend or colleague.

Eudora signature files are stored under the Eudora tab, in the lower left-hand corner of the Eudora window. Click on this tab or select Tools > Signatures.

To display the signature file menu, right-click in the signature section, and the menu shown below will appear.

To create a new signature file, click New....

Enter a name for this signature file. The name need only be something to remind you of the content of this signature file.

Click OK. Once you have created a new signature file, its name will be listed on the left hand side of the Eudora window - section A (i.e. My Signature shown below).

Enter the text you would like for your signature file in the right side of the window [section B, above]. You can format the signature text by using the formatting toolbar [section C, above]. The buttons are the standard Italic, Bold, etc... used in most windows applications. When finished, click File > Save to save your signature file.

To attach a signature to an individual e-mail message, or to change the signature file attached to an individual e-mail message, first open the compose window by clicking the New Message button .

Click the drop-down arrow to display the choices for signature file. Now click the signature you want to attach to this e-mail message.

You can also configure Eudora Pro to automatically attach a specific signature file to every e-mail message you compose.

Click Tools > Options. Select the Composing Mail icon and select the signature you would like to use on all messages from the Signature drop-down list. Click OK.

**Remember that even once you have a Default signature file attached to each new e-mail message, you can still change the signature file attached to an individual e-mail message by using the signature drop-down menu on the message compose window.
