Signatures and Mail

I used to be able to pick and choose various signatures from a drop down menu for each sending account. This has now gone. There is a procedure to bring signatures back under the Customiseoption but a) this only works in each message sent, and 2) the drop down does not work, even thought there are several different signatures defined.
Any fixes found?

Deborah,
I was having the same problem, but after a bit of playing around I think I have it sorted.
In Mail go to your Preferences. Click on the Signature Panel. There is a drop down menu located in bottom quarter of the Signature preferences window that says *Choose Signature*. I've a feeling it defaults to None so you need to set it yourself.
Select the mail account that you want a sig to appear on, and then choose the appropriate sig text.
If you have more than one sig text applied to an account you will have the option to select "At Random" or "In Sequence" also.
I think what you are experiencing is because at the moment you have None (the default) set in *Choose Signature* and therefore you are having to select a sig text each time you compose a mail.
Hope this helps.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my signatures for Mail are gone!

I go to Preferences and they are no longer listed there. Help!

If you have a pre-upgrade backup of your files, try restoring the following items in your home folder:

Digital Signatures and Encryption in Yosemite Mail

After upgrading to Yosemite, I am having difficulty using the Mac Mail app to send digitally signed and encrypted email.
Before the upgrade to Yosemite, I was able to send signed and encrypted emails using certificate/keys in my keychain using both the Mac Mail app and Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac.
After upgrading, I am still able to send signed and encrypted message in Outlook, but the Mac Mail app gives the following error when I attempt to send a signed email:
'You don’t have a trusted certificate in your keychain that matches the email address “XXXX@XXXX”. Without a certificate, you can’t sign messages sent from this address.' (Actual name replaced)
When I look at my certificates in my keychain, a certificate is available with "Usage: Digital Signature" that has the email address from the error message "XXXX@XXXX" with exact case in the RFC 822 Name.
Another interesting piece of data that might help track this down is that when I first launch the Mac Mail application, the Mac Mail application is able to successfully decrypt emails that have been previously sent encrypted to me. HOWEVER, after I attempt to send an email and get the "You don’t have a trusted certificate..." error message, these emails are no longer able to be decrypted. I get the "Unable to decrypt message" header above the message and the content of the message is just a "smime.p7m". If I close the mail application and restart it, these encrypted message are once again decrypt-able until I attempt to send a message.
It almost seems like things are working until mail tries to access the keychain.
I have attempted to delete my certificate and keys from my keychain and then adding those items again.
I have attempted to close the mail application and reopen it.
I have attempted to reboot my computer.

1. I want to confirm that this is still an issue for me in 10.10.1 and mail Version 8.1 (1993)
2. I have another data point.
At my office I have wired networking and wireless networking available. Primarily I utilize the wired networking for access to network drives, etc.
When using the wired networking, I experience all the problems that have been catalogued in this thread. Can't sign, can't encrypt, can't close the compose window after the mail program fails to find my certificate.
However, when I switch to wireless networking before starting the mail application, digital signatures and encryption seem to work! This is pretty weird behavior. Make sure to restart mail if you were previously wired.
Here are some theories:
Something to do with OCSP? When I am wired vs wireless I am on different ip subnets and subject to different firewall rule sets. Perhaps OCSP is trying to determine the status of the certificate and failing?
Here are some things I have tested:
I switched to a different official apple brand thunderbolt to ethernet adapter with no change in behavior
I disabled wireless and disconnected my wired network. So no network access at all. Signatures and encryption work! The message obviously does not send, but it appears in my outbox and I don't get the signature error. When I reconnect my wired cable, the message sends successfully and appears as encrypted in my sent folder!
I have attempted to disable OCSP by using "Keychain Access --> Preferences --> Certificates Tab --> OCSP (OFF) and CRL (OFF)" but this hasn't made a difference in the behavior of wired networking.
Ran a TCPDUMP on traffic to the OCSP service but didn't see any traffic when I attempted to send a message and received the signature error
I am pretty stumped on this. This is very odd behavior
Does anyone else experience this behavior?

I have a jpeg signature for a signature in Mail account. When I attach another file to the email and se nd it to a Windows -operated recipient, my signature becomes an attachment as well and only the body of the email message is left.

I have a jpeg I have added for a profeesional look to my signature in my Mail acount. When I attach other files to the message and send the message to a Widows-user recipient, the signature is no no seen as a signature and simply becomes an attachment with the email.
What can I do to stop this happening. Thanks

File menu "Attach Files..." then Tick off "Windows-friendly Attachment".

Signature in Mail does not open and page gets frozen?

Signature in Mail doesn't open and whenever I try to open it, the page gets frozen disallowing any movement. Re-setting has been done several times but withou success. I have iPad 2 with iOS 7 (updated). I want to avoid Restoring the iPad as in this case I suspect all my data wiii get lost. Thanks for helping.

What signature in mail are you talking about? If you use the built in signatures in the settings, then I assume that you can't send mail at all if the page freezes every time that you try to write an email. When you tap the new email icon, and the window pop up, your signature is already at the bottom of the email screen.
So then you are saying that you cannot send emails correct? And you can restore an iPad without losing a thing, of you do it properly. I have restored several devices a few time and I never lost anything.

Digital signature and certificates on Mail

Hello All,
I'm new using mac and i have a token with my digital certificate. So i wanna know:
How can i use subscribe or use a digital signature on Mail. How can i use my certificate to sign the message.
Thanks,
Altemir Pacheco

Altemir ... It's important that the certificate has been created for the e-mail address you want to use as sender e-mail. Your certificate needs to be imported into keychain. Keychain only accepts certificates in a number of formats, among them .p12. You can import in a number of ways, you can for example drop your .p12 file (the certificate) on the keychain icon. Then open keychain and check whether the certificate is visible under "my certificates". It has to appear there and it has to show as "valid" and not as "expired". Control-click on the certificate and set-up a new preferred identity for your e-mail address (I am not sure whether this step actually does any difference but give it a try). Close mail.app and restart mail.app. When you now create a new e-mail and you choose as sender e-mail the e-mail address for which you have the certificate then you should see on the right side, just below the subject line a little symbol which you can click on for activating the signature for the e-mail your writing. Hope all this works.

My image in my email signature in Mail is resizing and becomes a lot smaller. According to the Graphic Designer, it's a Mail problem? Help!

I have a business account and use a signature in Mail. Currently I copy and paste the words from a .docx and then copy and paste the image into the signature. I've just changed my picture and at first when I started typing an email and hit 'enter' the image would resize to smaller (about half the size). Some test emails to a bigpond email showed that the picture was showing up as an X.
I readded the picture and in the signature in Preferences, it seemed the right size. But when I send a test email, the image is back to being small again.
This is really frustrating me - I hope someone can help!

check that pictures in mail are of actual size

Has anyone else had an issue where Mail.app signatures and rules disappeared?

For unknown reasons, I lost all my Mail.app signatures and Rules on Oct 10, 2012 at about 9:00AM PST.
Anybody else see something like this?
Also, I am getting sandboxd warnings that are Mail preference related....
I am guessing that the preferences access error that the sandboxd is having is related but who knows...
Anybody seen these kinda log messages?

there also seems to be a problem with the mdworker process .... that is perhaps related to the Mail issue....

I think this is an issue with the phone's proximity sensor (the one that turns the screen off when you hold it up to your ear). It's a bug that seems to occur when you switch to another app (any app) while still on a phone call. You'll notice in Messages that the screen goes dark when you move your thumb over the earpiece/iSight camera, but not when you move your other thumb.
Simplest solution is to force-quit the Messages app (double-click the home button, and swipe up on the app). The problem should resolve itself when you restart Messages.

Mail.app signatures and rules gone after update

After updating to OS X 10.9.4 and Mail.app 7.3 all my mail signatures and rules are gone.
If I now recreate those rules and signatures they are gone when I restart.
I have tried repairing permissions in disk utility. It has not restored my lost configurations nor does it allow me to maintain preferences across restarts.
I do not have Time Machine backups, all my data is with Google. The only things on my computer which are not on Google are things like this Mail client configuration.
Has anyone else lost this configuration and been able to restore it?

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:

Can't use signature,and other problems

Though I've created 2 signatures in Mail Preferences, neither one is shown when I send an e-mail. In the Signatures window in Mail Preferences the "Select Signature" portion in the dialog box is not active and "None" shows in the drop down menu bar.
There's apparently no way to empty the trash. I've searched through the all of the Preferences headings and found nothing about selecting when trash is to be emptied. In my old version of Mail, using the keyboard shortcut "Command+K" emptied the trash. In this new version, Mail 4.0.1, that's not an option.

In the Signatures window in Mail Preferences the "Select Signature" portion in the dialog box is not active and "None" shows in the drop down menu bar.
In the Signature box, select your email account you are using and then select "Choose Signature."

Photoshop CC extension with invalid signature and Photoshop default installed extensions cannot be loaded

I have a Creative Cloud subscription for Photoshop CC. All Creative Clouds products are updated to the latest versions. When I tried to install Tony Kuyper's TKActionv3 Photoshop extension using the Adobe Extension Manager CC on my PC desktop, I received an error message the extension contained an invalid signature and wouldn't be installed. I had previously installed the extension on my laptop without any problems. At the same time, I also noticed the default installed Photoshop CC extensions (e.g., Adobe Exchange, Kuler, Mini Bridge, Behance) could not be loaded using the Windows/Extension command. I receive an error message that the command could not be completed because the extension could not be loaded. After contacting Tony Kuyper, he suggested that I try the steps mentioned in the following weblink: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6029768. The steps basically consist of uninstalling and reinstalling all the Creative Cloud apps associated with Photoshop CC. I tried the steps multiple times, but I am still having the same problems. I can find the default installed Photoshop CC extensions on my machine, so I don't know why they can't be loaded.
I posted this question in the Extension Manager group. Should I also post it in the Adobe Photoshop group?
Thanks for your assistance,
Mark Curtis

Zhihong,
I received your e-mail with the questions below. I answered some of your questions: answers in red and underlined. In addition to posting in the forum, I also replied to your e-mail address, but the message was returned as undeliverable. What e-mail address should I use for sending you the log files.
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Here is a workaround to make the extension display again:
You can bypass the check for extension signature by editing the CSXS preference properties file, located at:
• Win: regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/CSXS.5
• Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.CSXS.5.plist
Add a new entry “PlayerDebugMode” of type "string" with the value of "1". And then restart Photoshop and try again. Please let us know if this work around can work.
And could you please help to offer following information for us to find the root cause? Thanks:
1. Which PS version are you using? On what platform, Windows or Mac OS? Photoshop CC (64-Bit) 14.2.1 x64, Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit)
2. The extension cannot be loaded since when? 5/25/2014
3. What is the version of imslib.dll/.framework and PlugPlugOwl.dll/.framework? It locates at path like “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)”. 7.0.0.145, 4.2.0.36
4. Can you get the CSXS log and send it to us? Please add a “LogLevel” key with value “6” in registry (PS should be restarted for the log level change to take effect):
• Win: regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/CSXS.5
• Mac: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.CSXS.5.plist
Then restart PS and the log file will be generated at:
• Win: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\csxs5-PHSP.log
• Mac: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Logs/CSXS/csxs5-PHSP.log
Thanks!

How do I create a signature,and then add it to an e ailed document?

How can I create a signature and then use it to sign a document in e mail?

Not sure I understand the question correctly.
Open Mail and click on Preferences under the Mail menu. Click on the Signatures icon in the toolbar. You can set up your signatures there.
But if you are talking about adding a written signature, then you cannot do that within Mail. You would need to scan in an image of your written signature then manually add it to a signature you create in mail as a graphic image. That seems to work.
