Yes, its a bit like having to look on the envelope to see who a letter
is from!

When I read mail my eyes go first to the Heading, and then the eyes go
straight down to the message and the signature. I don't even see the
name on the title bar, which is often different from the actual Siggy
anyway. Mine is different - to be thought of as 'Sally Swindells'
rather than Sally from the UK seaside is much too formal. I think the
location is vital too - makes the posts much more meaningful
especially as this is a worldwide group, and in a lot of cases more
than one person with the same first name. Locations can be very wide -
there is a lot of Seaside in the UK!

If you wrote a handwritten note to someone who knew your writing you
would put your name at the bottom - just friendly.

Hello! We've been having some lively conversations here lately. I do enjoy
the various quilt topics, and some of the off topic as well. For me, every
post would be even better if it was signed. Quite a few are not signed
lately. When I send a "real" letter, I put a return address on the
envelope, AND I sign the card/letter. So, I do so here too. I just like it
that way. If you hate my suggestion, please just ignore it and eventually
it will go away. Please do not start a major confrontation or flame on
this minor comment.
Pat... still in Virginia, but heading to Houston soon!!

Sounds like the making of a great tongue twister to me!

I wish I could figure out how to do that in Thunderbird. I have tried

Have just tested how I did it, and it worked:

1 Write how you want your siggy in a Word doc. and save as Plain Text.
(It may say you will lose the formatting on it etc. but save it that
way anyway!)
2 Click on News Account in Thunderbird.
3 Then in Accounts click on View settings for this account.
4 Attach this signature - tick the box
5 Click the Choose button
6 Find where you put the siggy in Instruction 1. Click on Open
7 Hey presto - that location is now entered in the little box and your
siggy will automatically appear when you reply to someone. It goes
under the message you are replying too, so don't forget its there!

I'm not using Thunderbird at the moment because, having been good for
5 weeks it has suddenly decided that I want 25,000 messages downloaded
every time, and somehow a superfluous heading has appeared under News
Account called News, which wont go away despite having been deleted.
Was spending too much time on sorting it, so have reverted to old
trusted Free Agent till I find the solution.

Whew! I knew someone would be able to help Tricia! g I've never used
Thunderbird, but I can help with MT-NewsWatcher, if someone on a Mac is
using that.

I do like the locations... maybe I'm just slow and have to read it 100 times before I remember...
but for me remembering who is who helps when I can remember where "home" is -- doesn't have to be
specific at all... a state is just fine for US folks... and country is fine for others....

I try to remember everybody -- but I'm getting old (50 next year!) and the memory is fading fast. I
can live with that... as long as the eyesight holds out. LOL

Kate,
My reason exactly, will be 70 in a couple of months. Hard to remember
stuff, but so glad to be here to try.

Well, I have a three letter name, so I
just do it the old fashioned way ... I
type! I was on line for years before I
even knew of an automatic signature, and
I still don't know (or care) how to do it.

I would love to have it automatic, but I have tried the ways others
have said and can't find what they are talking about. I have it
automatic in my regular e-mail, that was easy, but on here it is
complicated, at least for me. This is my siggy on my e-mails.
