An email signature is like a digital business card at the end of an email that identifies the sender and often includes contact information or other relevant details such as website, links to social media profiles, etc.

The HTML Mail Signature App is an application software for editing e-mail signatures using HTML code, especially for Apple Mail. The app is designed for macOS devices with active Apple Mail and serves as an extension of the signature function. You can use this app to edit the source code of your existing Apple Mail signatures.

With a one-off purchase of the app, you can use it to its full extent. There is no subscription.

The application costs 7.99 euros incl. 19% VAT in Germany (as of 12.2023). The price may vary depending on the country and region.

The in-app purchase is processed via the Mac App Store. The conditions of the store apply.

In your Apple ID, you enter your preferred payment method, e.g. credit or debit card, PayPal, etc.

You receive an invoice from Apple after every purchase. You can usually find these in your iCloud mailbox or in the mailbox you have specified for your Apple ID. The receipts can also be accessed in your App Store purchase statistics or via the Report-a-Problem portal. On the receipt you can see what was purchased and which Apple ID was used.

The latest version of the HTML Mail Signature App is 1.2.0 (as of 02.2023).

Go to About HTML Mail Signature in the app menu. The app shows you the installed version here.

To update the app, open the Mac App Store and go to the “Updates” tab. If a newer version is available, you will see it in the list of apps to be updated.

We recommend that you always keep the app updated.

The app can be used offline, so an internet connection, e.g. via Wi-Fi or mobile data, is not absolutely necessary. You only need an internet connection when downloading or updating the app.

No, the signature you create with this app is only available for Apple Mail on your MacOS device. For Outlook and other email clients, you have to create a signature separately in the respective client.

Theoretically, you could also copy the HTML code (without attachments) and reuse it in other apps or email programs. However, there is no guarantee that the HTML code is fully compatible with other applications.

The signatures are currently only available on MacOS with Apple Mail. However, a sent signature can be marked, copied and pasted in the signature settings in the Mail App of the iOS device. But compatibility is not guaranteed here.

Surely. In the HTML editor, you can change the source code of your signatures at any time.

You can use the attachment management function to attach all file formats, e.g. images, documents in all formats. With the drag-and-drop function, it is possible to drag the attachments from the sidebar into the HTML code. The reference appears as a code for the attachment, e.g: <span class=”Apple-string-attachment”><object height=”140″ width=”140″ type=”application/x-apple-msg-attachment” data=”cid:5E5F7BDD-B042-4231-8E23-C82F2888C839″></object></span> . Attached files can be referenced multiple times. This is especially helpful for images.

Yes, you can edit saved signatures at any time. Press “Save” to apply the changes. To ensure that these are also visible in Apple Mail, please restart Apple Mail every time you save a change.

Please restart the Apple Mail application so that it can read the changes from HTML Mail Signature.

To use the HTML mail signature, you must have knowledge of HTML to write the code for your signature yourself. Theoretically, you can also use ready-made HTML code from the Internet or from the Mail Signature app (Pro version).

To use the Mail Signature App, HTML knowledge is only optionally required. You can create your own signature with the visual editor. The editor is structured like Word. Depending on the version (free or Pro), various functions are available to you. Extended editor functions, images with Retina resolution and the HTML editor are available in the Pro version (In-App Purchase). The HTML editor that you have with the Pro version also allows you to edit the HTML code generated by the visual editor at any time. You have complete control over the source code of your signature. You can also export this code and save it as a backup or share it with others.

HTML means “Hypertext Markup Language” and is a web markup language for website design.

The export and import functions are the same as of Mail Signature Pro (in-app purchase). This means that an export of the *.mailsignature file and an import of the *.mailsignature and *.html files are also available.

1. Export
   
   • Backup and recovery in case of loss
     The export as a *.mailsignature file serves to save the signatures separately outside the Mail.app, e.g. on the respective device. This file serves as a backup and can be restored at any time via the import.Each signature must be exported separately and imported again separately. Make regular backups so that an up-to-date backup copy is always available.The signature exported as a *.mailsignature file cannot be imported into other email programs and is compatible with Mail Signature, HTML Mail Signature and Apple Mail.
   • Share with others
     Share the exported signature with others simply by sending a file. In large companies, it is also sufficient to create a signature template. Employees can import the file and adapt it to their contact details
2. Import
   It is possible to import signatures in .mailsignature and .html formats. It is used, for example, to restore deleted signatures or to insert third-party signatures as templates. It is also an option to import or copy a ready-made e-mail signature in .html format from the Internet.
