How to set email signature? (none-gmail account)

When you edit your gmail signature, is that just for emails sent from your phone or just your gmail account in general?

It'd be nice if people knew I was sending stuff from my phone (might excuse typing errors more readily lol)

Emails sent from your Droid will NOT have the signature you set up from the PC. You must set up one on the Droid, thus you can let people know you're on your phone if you want.

This is great, cuz I'm the opposite of you; I don't want people knowing where I'm sending my emails from.

Wow -- that's such a succinct way of putting it. Very nicely said.

I think people forget that part about Android. It's not what it has, it's what it could have, easily, cheaply.

I appreciate that Android didn't install a bunch of software that I neither wanted nor needed. Okay, there's a few(Amazon Mp3), I'll admit that. my T-Mobile Wing(Windows Mobile) was almost FULL when I got it. They loaded it with all kinds of crap I had no need for and could not get rid of. Heck if I don't like the way Android did the OS I can always root and get cyanogen or something else. With Windows I had to do all these hacks, overclock the processor, and make registry edits to get it to be half as useful as the android was out of the box.

I have figured out somewhat of a temporary workaround. Download a free app called CopiPe from Android Market. This free app gives you a copy/paste tool. I have my signature stored in this app. Whenever I am done typing my email I just open the CopiPe app and click copy and then hold down on the screen for a second and click paste. I can't wait until this is a native component of Android, but for now, I have a signature again.

i've updated the email app to include signature support, you can get more details here: Email Signature in Android Fixed


I put it in the /system/app folder on my droid via Root Explorer. I don't see the option to add a signature in the account settings anywhere. Am I missing something?

Thx


****** EDIT: Nevermind... looks like I have it now. Thanks!!
