Making a sig

Making a sig
Eudora Tip #10/04-Nov-1999

Often there are bits and pieces of information you always want to include with your messages — things like postal address, URL for your website, information about a changed phone number — whatever. Such information can be automatically added to any message you send and is known as a “sig” — a signature file. To create a sig just look in Eudora’s Menu Bar for the Signatures item. You should find this under Window or Special.

You might be able to set up more than one, but just start with Standard for now. Open up the Standard sig and you’ll have an empty page. Just type any information which should appear at the bottom of each message (more tips on content in weeks to come). Close the window and save the changes.

Now when you write an email you’ll see some buttons in the top left corner of your message. One should have the letters JH on it. Click and hold and choose Standard to attach your sig to the message. You won’t see the sig, but it will be attached as you send the message. Go on, send a message to yourself. You’ll see. And yes, there are easier ways to attach the sig — see Tip #11.
