Add signature to Mail?

I was browsing the list of new features in Yosemite (https://www.apple.com/osx/all-features/) and came across this:
"Add signatureEasily add your own signature to an image or PDF form, right in Mail. Use the trackpad to draw your signature or capture it using the camera on your Mac. Save your signature to use later with Markup or when filling out forms in Preview."
It sounds great, but in the help file for OS X Mail, it says nothing about how to create a signature in this way. How do I create a handwritten signature for use in Mail?
(Apologies for posting in the OS X Mavericks community... for some reason neither OS X Mail nor OS X Yosemite show up in the "Browse Communities" field in the form.)
(Apologies for not deleting this post after I found a way to post in the Yosemite community... I couldn't find a way to delete posts either - this really is the most unstable Internet forum I've encountered :-( )

Hi Ramana,
When you go to preferences, you will not be given the option "Preferences"
Your Preferences should be choices: General, Appearance, Bookmarks, Tabs, etc.
If by some chance you do not see any of those options, click on the oblong button at the far upper right. That should drop down those options.
If this doesn't work, post back.
Good Luck,
John

Add Signature to mails

Hi,
I want to add my Signature in all the outgoing yahoo & gmail. But i am not able to configure it. Also not able to get an option to set this. Could someone please help me in this.

Thank you - I was able to find the following solution for my case, as I have tmobile:

Add Signature to E-Mails Sent from Preview

When I e-mail a document from Preview my signature is not automatically added to the e-mail. I can add it quickly from the signatures on the right, but I am running a small business and don't want the risk of forgetting to add it.
Mail automatically adds the signature to new messages and to replies, it just doesn't add it from an e-mail created in Preview.
To duplicate: open an image or PDF in Preview. Click on File --> Mail Image. A new mail message is created with the document attached, but the new e-mail does not automatically include my signature.
I am using OS X 10.5.8, Mail 3.6 (936), and Preview 4.2 (469.5).

Yes, same here, but the funny thing is that it tries to add it, (can tell because if the signature has external links, then Little Snitch will ask if Mail can connect to it just like composing a new one that does display it), but the signature drop down always says None & it doesn't display.
Copying the text of the PDF in Preview & using Services>Mail>Sand Selection does add the signature, but of course no PDF layout, just the text.
Only workaround I found is lots more work... Open PDF in Acrobat or Reader, File>Attach to Mail... new window opens without sig, Select All of the body, copy, close mail, CMD+n for a New mail, click in body, paste, sig is there.
I don't expect that to be a workable solution.

Programmatically add a signature to mail?

Is it possible to programmatically add a signature to mail? AppleScript? Automator?
I have 10+ macs on a lab and would be "painful" to do all of it manually
Thanks!

Do you want to create this signature on an email site you access in Firefox (the method would depend on which service it is), or in Thunderbird?

How can you put an Animated Signature in Mail...

Is it possible to add an animated signature to Mail.
I have read if you overwrite an existing signature residing in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder as a .webarchive file it will work.
I have an animation I have built in Photoshop and saved as an animated gif in the Save for Web command. I understand that you need to open this gif in Apple TextEdit and save as an .html file which I can only do if I convert to rich text. Then I need to open the html in Safari and save as a .webarchive which I have done but opening in Safari just gives me all the html code and saving as a webarchive doesn't change this to the animation.
Then you need to replace the name of the file with name of an existing "fake" signature from the Mail Signatures folder. Which I have done but when I've restarted Mail and tested it, I only get the code in my signature not the animation.
I can figure where I've gone wrong.
Can anyone help?

Ok, I explain:
Suppose you have a a family with the following members:
- Father
- Mother
and 5 children : a, b, c, d and e.
So should be able to create a group called "family" composed of FM+a+b+c+de
Suppose some of the children (let's say: abc) are member of a swimming club that has weekly different training sessions and some now and then participates to inter-club swimming competitions. So all the activities of swimming club are common for a, b and c and should appear in the agenda of each of them.
Suppose the father and the mother are following dance courses. The same remark is valid here; all the activities of the dance courses should appear in both the agenda's of the father and the mother.
Suppose the following persons are member of a tennis club (with training hours and also some now and then competition): Motherc+de. The same remark is still valid all the members of the family that are member of the tennis club should see the activities of the tennis club in their own agenda.
Suppose a number of family members are member of some big band let's say:
fathera+c+de.
And here is still always the same remark valid; all the members are supposed to be present at the repetition sessions of this big band and at its public performances.
To resume: we should be able to create for each of the different clubs a different group with the right members so that as you introduce a club activity you have to do this only once and this activity should then appear in the agenda of each of the club members.
On the other hand everything (all the persons and all their activities together) should also be visible in a global common agenda of the complete family and also in complete agenda of a selection of a number of family members.

How can I save a screenshot as a jpg? I want to create a signature using a jpg in Thnderbird as you can't have graphics as signatures using Mail

I am findinit difficult to rely on Mail so have used Thunderbird so that I can add screenshots and use different fonts in my email messages but iI now can't find a compatible programme to use to create jpgs from sreenshots which I used to be able to do with Irfanview and Photfiltre but i dont htink I can use these with a Mac. I have been told Xee is possible but will it do what I want and if so how?

Not sure what you mean by not being able to use graphics as part of your signature in Mail. I use them all the time.
Or are you referring to the recipients not being able to see the graphic when they receive the email?
You need to set Mail's Composing preferences to use Rich Text rather than plain text:

Adding Signatures in Mail

I just tried to add another signature to my Mail. But, for some reason, it doesn't show up in the Signature selection area when I am writing e-mails. I've tried quiting the program and restarting, nothing. What am I doing wrong? Very odd!
Thanks, j e f f

So, okay, I figured it out. I had add the signatures but not assigned them to the e-mail account I wanted. DUH! So, to anyone out there having this problem ... you can add signatures until the cows come home, but be sure to add them to the e-mail addy you want ... they aren't automatically added to your e-mail account (or all the others if you have more than one, etc.)

Graphic Signatures in Mail

I've seen this discussed, but not solved. How do you add a logo (graphic) to your signature in mail? Dragging it below your name does NOT send it EXCEPT as an attachment which is worthless.
Surely Apple allows this!!??

Anything that is not text in an email message must be sent as an attachment. This is not an Apple issue, it is an email issue. All email programs must follow email protocols. But email programs vary in how they display received attachments. Some, like Mail, will display them inline when they can, and it might not always be obvious that it is an attachment. Some other email programs will not show the content of an attachment. If your correspondents are using an application that does not display your logo the way you would like, there is nothing Apple can do about that.

Heck, I can know more about you from 1993 than from seeing your posts here...There's a difference between a sig and a tagline.
Stopped using sigs quite early. Back then it was also discouraged as it only add useless bytes to transfers over 9600 BAUD modems.
Was very fond of the latter. Use RoboMail to read mail forums offline (the days of Sparky and QWK) and had a sizeable tagline database in my mail reader. And sometimes, a worthwhile response was simply an empty mail with a tagline. :-)

How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud account? I curently only use one of the three.

Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud account. If you want, you can add up to 3 alias addresses that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

How do I automatically or manually add incoming e-mail addresses to my address book?

How do I automatically or manually add incoming e-mail addresses to my address book?

Automatically? Really?? All addresses of all senders just sucked into the address book, spammers, advertisers and all?
Where an address appears in the panel above the message text, there is a star alongside it. Click this star to add the address to your Address Book. Once you have done that, you can click the star again to edit the address book entry.
Note that if the star is empty/grey (silver?) the contact is unknown. If the star is filled/yellow (gold?), the Contact is already in your address book. (This is very like the way bookmarks are managed in Firefox.)
If you really want all senders' addresses entered indiscriminately into your address book, this add-on may be of interest.

if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account
