Adding a Signature to Emails (Thunderbird)

Overview

This screencast with audio demonstrates how to add a so-called signature to all outgoing Emails in Mozilla Thunderbird.

Signatures are standard texts added automatically to the bottom of all your email messages by your email software. In corporate environments they typically contain the contact information of the business and a legal disclaimer.

Demonstrated are two examples: A simple plain text signature, and a rich-text (HTML) signature that also includes an image (a company logo).

 

Example: Plain-text email with a signature
