Apple Mail signature being added rather than being replaced

When creating a message in Apple Mail, it has suddenly started adding an alternate signature below the default signature, rather than replacing it. I have to manually delete the default signature before sending the email. How can this be fixed? I'm running Mavericks on a 2013 MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM, and Mail is version 7.2.

I have several diffeent signatures that I use depending on the specific subject. One is my default signature that is set in the Signature preferences. However when I write an email that requires a differenrt one, I select it from the Signature box at the right of the email. In the past, the selected signature would replace the default one. Now, in the past few days, instead of replacing the default signature, the selected one is added below the default signature. This is the behavior that I would like to stop.

Adding Photos/Graphics to Apple Mail Signatures

Is there a way to add photos/graphics to the Apple Mail Signature so that it is always there when you compose an e-mail message?

This is the best reference I have seen to creating HTML signatures in Mail:

Apple Mail Signatures

I am trying to create a signature that has social media icons that are linked to those accounts. I can do that but all my text below the icons (disclaimer and marketing slogans) are underlined. How do I prevent that. See signature below.

I only have one single gmail account set up in Apple Mail.
In Apple mail you can add more than one FROM address for a single account by adding commas in between the addresses. When you do that and compose a new message, you get to choose which address to use in the FROM field.
But since it's a single account, I can't drag signatures over anything it'd be great if there was an option to drag signatures over email addresses instead of mail accounts.

How do i add a LinkedIn badge to Apple Mail signature

Does someone know how to add popular badges (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) to Apple Mail signatures. Just badge icon with a hyperlink to my profile.

Actually I just figured it out. Within your public profile on LinkedIn is an area for LinkedIn badges on right side. Click there and it will display several types of badges. Right click on the badge you want to use and do a "save as" to desktop.
Now go into Mail preferences, signatures. Copy and paste the icon you've saved to your desktop wherever you would like the badge to display within your signature. Then go to Edit on top menu and select "add link". This will open a box where you need to fill in your LinkedIn address that displays right below your profile photo. Save this.
This will turn the badge into a hyperlink that will connect to your LinkedIn Profile. To test it, create a new email using this signature and do a test send. When you receive the test email click on the badge to confirm that it takes you to your LinkedIn Profile.
Good luck!

In Apple Mail, I cannot add more than one address to the "To" line

In Apple Mail, I cannot add more than one address to the "To" line by typing just the initial

HHow are you. Trying to add the second address? Normal procedure after the first address is to type a comma, then start typing the name for the second address.

How do I copy Apple Mail signatures to another Mac?

I'm trying to copy all my Apple Mail signatures to another Mac. Both are running Mountain Lion.

The signatures are located in <login dir>/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Signatures
The .plist files are significant, as they associate the signature to the e-mail account. Though I have not copied Mail signatures to another machine, I would take a copy of the entire Signature folder, and use that on the other machine, adjusting for any differences in e-mail accounts/signatures used there.

Why does Firefox 5 open external (internet, SMTP) e-mail in the browser rather than the Lotus Notes Client?

Using Lotus Notes as the system's primary mail client, '''some''' users experience external mail being opened in the browser rather than the the client. When they revert back to using an older version as the OS default browser, or indeed a different browser altogether, this does not happen.
Again, this does not happen with all installations of 5.0 - just a few.

go to "preferences" in Lotus Notes and enable "disable embodded browser for MIME mail" and it shoudn't open the browser anymore

How to add a photo to Apple Mail signature...? (he asks laughably)

Since the sender's Address Book photo is not included with emails sent
(even 'though Apple Mail makes it look like they are),
how can you add a personal photo to a Mail signature?
OR, is there another means of including a personal photo with every email sent?
**** How many people have asked for this feature / capability? More than 10,000?
Thx.

How many people have asked for this feature / capability? More than 10,000?
As a matter of fact I have never seen it mentioned before. Perhaps only a few people need such an ego-trip every time they send an email.
The normal way is to add a photo within the text or as an attachment. The Signature only handles thumbnails.
But you can send your suggestion to Apple via their feedback link:

It will be read but you will not receive a reply.

Apple Mail Signature

In Apple Mail, even when i change the email account, the default signature remains in the body of the text and the new signature gets added below it. As such i have to delete the default signature everytime i need to send an email from a different account. This problem was not there in OS X Snow Leapord. Kindly advise whether there is any setting in Mountain Lion which will rectify this.

When you start writing a new message click on the button at the left of the From: field, then "Customize..." I think is the English translation
then enable the field Signature on the right
Now you can quickly change your account signature and the previous one is wiped.

Digital Signatures per page rather than per document

I am looking for some type of solution allowing for digital signatures for pdf files using a certificate authority.
These documents will have signatures on each page.
Am looking for a solution which would be able to validate on a page-by-page basis rather than the entire document.
For example, if we had 10 pages with one signature on each page, and page 7 was changed, would only expect that the signature on page 7 be validated when making changes and not forcing the signatures on all the other 9 pages to be resigned.
Is anyone aware of such a solution?

I have a similar problem. Firstly, I understand the "flawed" comment above but reality is flawed.
I have a number of documents in excess of 1000 pages which I am attempting to manage digitally. However, they need to be available for inspection by my regulator who still requires a paper format. I would like to be able to print, (or have my regulator print), the digitally signed document but still have something, even a small code or watermark, that would be printed on each page to tie the paper to the digital signature on the front of the document.
Is there such a feature?

Can't get HTML to display in Apple Mail signature

I'm stumped. I cannot get the HTML I wrote to display! I followed all the steps properly with creating a webarchive file, renaming so that it shows up in Apple Mail. But then when I go back in and see the signature, it's there but it doesn't display the HTML ... it just displays the code!
I've tested the HTML code on a webpage, and it works just fine. I have my message format as Rich Text.
The code is (with carets turned into {}'s here for display purposes):
{a href="http://www.tweetbars.com"}{img src="http://bar.tweetbars.com/azdesertfather.gif" /}{/a}{/center}

I received this idea from several sites that have had people successfully do it ... they all give the same basic set of instructions to do it, and it seems to work for them and those who comment after them ...

Apple Mail Signature - How to not double in replies?

On Apple Mail, how might I be able to not have my signature double when I reply to an email? I know I can press "none" but is there any way to autoset it to not include a signature in replies? I do not see a "rule" that will allow me to do this. Thanks!

Do you mean your signature is entered twice every time you reply?

Mail issue: received mail is being replaced by older mail from my inbox

Some of my inbox received mail content is being replaced by older mail from my inbox. Since I receive mail from my gmail account, I have to go there to check the mail which is not replaced. An ideas/suggestions?

Did it work correctly before now?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Help with apple mail signatures please?

Hello,
I've recently purchased a MacBook Pro - running LION.
I am trying to arrange my signatures in apple mail for my business email address and keep coming up against the following:
Everything is fine with the font's etc, it's when I come to placing small icons of the various social media platforms we have for the business and link them to their various URL's. What happens is it places a blue underline between each icon on my signature which looks really naff and also underlines all the "legal" nonsense at the bottom of my email signature (which is all just normal fonts) - which makes it look even naffer!!!!
Does anyone know how I can keep the icons in place with their links to the URL's without having these stuid blue underlines and also how to get rid of the underlines on the legal notes at the bottom please?

You need to assign a link to your button.
If you want to link to another page in your site - e.g. a
contact mailform or something - just click on the contact button
image in DW and browse to the required page in the Link field of
the property inspector.
OR.. if you want to open an email client with a new message
to tan email address - click on the contact button image and type a
"mailto:" in the Link field of the property inspector... e.g.
mailto:[email protected]
Hope this helps.
