Make Mail App Pick Signiture By Default Mac

09.09.2020by

Change your default web browser

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
  2. Click General.
  3. Choose your web browser from the ”Default web browser” pop-up menu.

Jun 02, 2019  Here are the ways you can customize the email app on Mac. Check for new messages frequency. You can adjust the Mail app to check for new emails automatically, according to a schedule, or manually. With a schedule, you can decide how much time should pass before the system looks for new mail again. In the app, click on Mail in the macOS menu bar. If you have Kutools for Outlook installed, you can apply its Add date signature when creating new email option to automatically add a signature to all new emails no matter which email account they are created within in Outlook. Click Kutools Options to open the Options dialog box. In the opening Options dialog box, please go to the New tab, and then (see screenshot). Mac OS X ships with Mac Mail built-in, and automatically set as the default email application on your iMac or MacBook / Air / Pro. As soon as you install another program capable of handling email, it can be set as the new default. Unlike changing the default web browser on a Mac, the default mail handler is not controlled from the centralized system preferences app (weird quirk!).

Change your default email app

  1. Open Mail.
  2. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu, then click General. Or, if you're prompted to set up an email account, add your account, then choose Preferences from the Mail menu.*
  3. Choose your email app from the ”Default email reader” pop-up menu.

* You can also set your default email app in the preferences of your third-party email app.

Add linked text and/or graphics to Mail.app signatures

Not my cup of tea (I really dislike images in signatures), so I did not test. Still, some things you may want to check:
- Are you sure that the new message (which you used temporarily) is not in your Drafts or Deleted Items? And if it is: does the image still show if you fully delete that temporary message?
- Does this yield an attachment rather than an inline image in any non-Mac mail client?

Try this.
1. Paste the graphic into the content area of a new outgoing message.
2. Click on the graphic to select it.
3. Choose Edit-->Link-->Add
4. Type the URL (e.g., mailto:[email protected]) into the resulting dialog sheet, and click OK in the sheet.
5. Copy the graphic (command-C).
6. Open mail's preferences and click the Signatures tab/icon.
7. Click the '+' button at the bottom of the second column. Optionally rename the signature.
8. Select all the default text in the third column.
9. Paste in the third column.
10. Drag the signature from the second column to an account in the first column. Repeat for as many accounts as you wish to have this signature appear in.

Hey you could make it flash, too. Now that would really be cool.

Ugh. I despise embedded graphic signatures so very much. Every single email you receive from an offender is usually about 10x-20x larger than a 'regular' non-rich text email. If you need to archive your mail, this adds up fast!
For the sender who archives his emails, think about how large your Sent Items folder is going to be after a year of piling up all those embedded images!
I sincerely ask anyone who insists on having a rich email signature to use this hint instead. It works great, and results in a signature that is almost as small as a simple text sig.

Well, in my defense, I agree that graphical signatures should usually be avoided. My default sig is set to none.
But, I wanted to make a sig for emails to send to my family, I may never use it, and the jpg image I ended up installing was only 6K. What really interested me was finding a way to get mail to accept linked graphics in signatures. There is an implication in mail.app's programming that setting links in graphics pasted into/dragged into the sig pane should work, but they don't. This was just a small victory.
I am not offended by emails that contain graphics unless they are megabytes big. Life is too short and my 1TB start-up drive isn't especially impacted by large emails.

Then, if that's the case, this AppleScript application (which uses Safari, as an example) does the same thing without the cryptic URL tags. Change the bounds to suit your needs.

Put it on the Dock and you're good to go.

Ooops, wrong topic. I guess I should not bother trying to restore comments ;-)

More annoying is the fact that in your mail, every message with an image signature, displays like it has an attachment (which it has). So if you add a 'real' attachment there is no visual difference.

Add linked text and/or graphics to Mail.app signatures

When properly done, images can be shown without such attachment indicator. But is surely isn't worth the effort, as all other disadvantages still apply.
(I do send people screen captures of my Mac Mail showing this paperclip though, so make them stop using such images.)

I look at the argument like this :
email was designed for plain text, it like plain text.
Pushing html into email clients is hacking.
If you read emails on a text console, the html will not be rendered, so you end up not actually communicating.
if you want to use html, go define a new email protocol, DESIGNED for html or whatever you want.

Well, the 'new' email protocol has been in place for many years: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1521.html (which does not imply that we should like it..)

Funny, I can read - mainly the word 'extension' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME

Make Mail App Pick Signature By Default Mac Os

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. But I assume that even most people who are reading on a text console do enjoy MIME for its attachments or non-ASCII characters. So, I don't feel MIME is some non-standard extension.
(Though I don't fancy HTML emails either, and Opt-Cmd-P is my best friend in Apple Mail.)

Add linked text and/or graphics to Mail.app signatures

er my point was, design a new protocol, your response was 'the existing one is already extended'
But thanks for playing.
If you have ever read a multipart mime message in elm or pine then you'd know why this extension doesn't work for all users.
Perhaps you think users with screen readers should also not have access to emails?
The only reasonable solution is a new email protocol.

Add linked text and/or graphics to Mail.app signatures

I would not fancy a new protocol that is only to be supported by specific mail clients (I don't like multiple email adresses for different protocols). And I wonder if a new protocol that is to be supported by all major clients, would not yield the same problems. For example: I assume that screen readers are smart enough to handle MIME's multipart/alternative messages. However, currently some (or many) email clients (and notably many website newsletters as well) do not correctly include a text-only version of the message as well. I'm afraid the same would happen with a new protocol.
So, I'm afraid that a new protocol would have the same bad implementations. :-(
Or are there actually still email clients out there that do not, officially, support MIME?

While I'd prefer no graphic files in signatures, this hint sounds like something I could use for creating a signature which would automatically attach my resume.

this is unrelated
but id just like to say- congrats on kicking out those pwners- wat happend?

That was weird - Strange GWB images, and a single reload later they are gone, but so was today's new postings.
I am guessing that a quick restore from the most recent backup is what got us back to yesterday - hopefully the hole that was exploited was also closed?

Yes, I'm sure that the Easter Bunny got to work right away on patching the code while Santa Claus was kicking ass and taking names.

To the best of our ability to tell, passwords weren't compromised. The hackers merely gained access to the admin side of Geeklog, which doesn't allow any access to the passwords.
However, changing them is never bad advice.

You are clearly missing the point, or trolling, I'm not sure which.

If you're still referring to our little discussion on MIME, as that was the last reply in this topic: I wish you well with your outdated elm or pine and your hopes for a new protocol, and hope you'll let the rest of us enjoy this decade's internet.

So you ARE a troll!
Remember your beloved HTML mail runs on what was NeXTStep - from 10 years ago!!!!!!!
How's that for feeding a troll?

Add linked text and/or graphics to Mail.app signatures

The BEST way to add graphics/links is to make an HTML signature and host the images yourself or through a free service and open the html file in Safari, then 'Save as' a Web Archive OVER a signature you've previously saved in Mail.
Ta-dah! An HTML signature you can use whenever you want.
Forgot where I learned this - could've been right here at Mac OS X Hints, probably..
