Add a Signature to Your Messages

SUMMARY: Automatically add text to the end of your Yahoo! Mail e-mails such as your job title, an advertisement, or an interesting quote.

Many people add signature texts to the end of their e-mails. Signatures may include:

* Job title and company
* BRIEF advertisement
* Humorous or inspirational quote

If you'd like to add a signature to the end of all messages sent via Yahoo! Mail, do the following:

(Note the following instructions were current as of 1/2/2006 - Yahoo! Mail's interface is subject to change.)

1. From the "Mail" tab, click "Options".

2. Underneath "Mail Options", click "Signature".

3. Enter your desired text. It's best to keep it between 1-7 lines, 3-5 preferred. Switch from the "Plain" to "Color and Graphics" editor if preferred.

4. Check "Add signature to all outgoing messages".

5. Click "Save" to store your signature.

To make sure everything looks correct, test your signature out by sending e-mail to yourself. You should see a "Use my signature" checkbox underneath your message composition window. After sending the message, when you receive the sent e-mail, it should contain your signature.
