Apple Mail

To add an HTML signature to Apple Mail, you'll need to create a new signature in Mail settings, then edit the corresponding signature file in your library to insert the HTML code. You'll also need to lock the signature file to prevent Apple Mail from overwriting it.

Step-by-step guide

Create a new signature:

  • Open Mail > Settings > Signatures.
  • Click the "+" button to add a new signature.
  • Add placeholder text in the right-hand pane.
  • Drag the signature to your email account.
  • Select the signature in the "Choose Signature" list at the bottom.

Edit the signature file:

  • Quit Mail.
  • Go to ~/Library/Mail/MailData/Signatures.
  • Find the .mailsignature file for the new signature (it will be the most recently modified one).
  • Open the file with TextEdit.
  • Select everything from and including <body> down, and paste your HTML signature.
  • Save the file and close it.

Lock the signature file:

  • Right-click the .mailsignature file, choose "Get Info".
  • Check the "Locked" box.

Open Mail and check the signature:

The HTML signature should now be displayed when you compose a new email.
