How to Insert Email Signature in Gmail

E-Signature in Gmail

By default attaching html email signatures are disabled in Gmail. Still if you want to insert e-signature, there is a way how to do it. You'll need to install Greasemonkey. It is a Firefox extension that allows you to modify looking and behaviour of your favourite pages.
If you use greasemonkey with Firefox and the appropriate scripts, you can modify the functionality of any web page and you can insert html email signature to Gmail.

If you power up Firefox with Greasemonkey and then add the appropriate scripts, you can change the functionality of web pages.

Features of the Gmail E-Signature

After you've enabled Greasemonkey, you should get the Gmail Signature Float script. It will change gmail in 3 ways:
  • Gmail places e-signature at the bottom of replied or forwarded messages by default. This will fix the issue. E-signature in Gmail will be moved to the top of the quoted message rather than the bottom.
  • It will remove the two dashes that Gmail places above e-signature automatically.
  • It provides the ability of adding HTML to signatures, and the ability of leaving turn off and on floating of e-signature.
