How to Add a Gmail Signature
Questions and Answers
What is a Gmail Signature?
A Gmail signature is a string of text that can be
automatically appended to the end of
every Gmail message you send.
What is the Default Gmail Signature?
The default is no signature at all because
in Gmail the signature option is turned off by default.
What Should I Include in my Signature?
People include many different things in their
email signatures. You can use your first
and last name, your first name only, your first
initial and last name, or even your favorite nickname.
Some people like to also include a favorite quote.
Formal business signatures will typically include
an employee's full name, title, company name,
address, phone number, fax number, email address,
and company Web site.
Does My Signature Have to Appear in All of My Messages?
If the signature option is turned on, you signature
will appear by default at the end of every message you compose,
reply to, or forward, but you can always remove the
signature before you actually send any message.
Can My Signature Appear on More Than One Line?
Yes it can. When you are following the
instructions at the bottom of this page for creating
your default Gmail signature, enter the signature text exactly the way
you want it to appear at the end of your messages
(on multiple lines if that is desirable).
Can My Gmail Signature Include an Image?
