Gmail Adds Rich Text Signatures

by Elgin

Google now has modified one of their Gmail features, rich text signatures. This has been requested among Gmail users.


Gmail only supported plain text signatures until Google added rich text signatures. Now, Gmail users are able to add company logos, fancy formatting or web and mail links to the text.

Mark Knichel, The Software Engineer of Google, said that Gmail users "... have tried their own solutions, including Greasemonkey scripts, browser plugins. ... Others have simply lived with frustration of not being able to change the colors or font size of your signature, or insert images and links. Either way, you'll be happy to know that today we're launching the ability to write your own rich text signatures right in Gmail."

Gmail users can access the feature from user's settings page and they can set a unique signature for each individual email address associated with an account.

However, only the latest desktop version of Gmail supports rich text signatures and multiple signatures. The older version and HTML version of Gmail, along with the mobile versions, use a plain text version of your primary account’s signature.
