Signatures

Overview

You can include a signature in your emails that includes your name, address, phone, and email address to make it easy for recipients to reach you. The signature will automatically be added at the end of Google Mail messages you send.


Computer Browser

  1. On a computer, open Gmail.
  2. At the top right, click the settings icon shaped like a gear.
  3. Select Settings.
  4. Scroll down to the "Signature" section and enter your new signature text in the box.
  5. Optional: Format your text using the buttons above the text box.
  6. Optional*  Select the checkbox next to "Insert this signature before quoted text in replies and remove the "--" line that precedes it" to include your signature with visible body of your message. 
  7. At the bottom of the settings page, click Save Changes.

    *By default, signatures are separated from the rest of your message by two dashes  placed at the bottom of the entire message, beneath any replied or forwarded text.
