Ever get tired of typing out your name, your title, your telephone number, and other information at the end of every e-mail message? Using a signature file will automatically add your information to the bottom of every message you send. (If you decide you don't want to include your signature message at the end of a particular e-mail, you can just highlight it and delete it.) |

Part I: Create your signature file in Notepad |
|
Your signature file must be saved as plain text. It's easiest to create your signature file using Notepad. Netscape Mail will use this file each time it sends out a message. If you delete the file, your signature will no longer appear on new messages. |
|
- Click on the Start button (it is usually located at the bottom of the screen). Then click on Programs; click on Accessories; Notepad should be located under this submenu, click on it.
|
|
|
|
|
- Notepad will open up, and it will display a blank text document.
|
|
- Type any information that you would like to include at the bottom of every message you send out.
|
 | |
|
- This will open up the Save As window.
- Beside Save in:, click on the down arrow, then click on a place to save this file. (The My Documents folder is a good place).
- Type in a file name ("signature" is a good choice) and then click on the Save button.
|
 | |
|
- Close Notepad.
|
|
|
Part II: Attach your Signature File |
- Start Thunderbird, then click on Tools, then click on Account Settings...
|
| |
|
- This will bring up the Account Settings screen.
|
|
- Click on Attach this signature (a check mark should appear beside it).
- Click on the Choose button, then click on the directory where you saved your text file from Notepad.
- Double-click on your text file. The path to your signature file should now appear in the text box next to the Choose button.
- Click OK.

Congratulations! Your signature will now appear at the bottom of your messages.
