i was using much nicer more sophisticated HTML signature under 10.6 and 10.7 it was using the .webarchive method.



Now as you see, in 10.8 with mail 6.0 the signatures have .mailsignature and renaming the old .webarchive method doesn't work. Did anybody figure out a method ? I want to have some rich HTML in the signature.

never mind, figured it out. opened the files in TXT editor - it needs to look like:

Code:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/html;
	charset=us-ascii

Mine still works, but it's buggy. I too built it as you described.

Did you try renaming a sig, then copy and past the web archive to sig. Folder?
I forget, but mail auto numbers those- so there is a trick you could do on SL, not sure if it holds true for ML.

My sigs will not remove themselves while selecting none in the sig drop down whereas before they would.

Help

Hi,

I encountered exactly the same issue.

Im sorry, when you say "It needs to look like this..", what do you mean.
Can you explain more fully the steps?
I have my .webarchive file. What steps to I have to take to get it to a working .mailsignature file?

Thank you so much

Chris
