Gmail Busts Out Rich Text Signatures
Posted on 09. Jul, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News, Tips
In a post earlier yesterday, the Gmail blog announced the addition of Rich Text Signatures to everyone’s (I think) favorite email client. While this may add a hodgepodge of images in lines of email conversations, as Gmail becomes a defacto email client for not only regular users but also businesses, adding features like this is smart business.
So, things like colored text, backgrounds, linked text and images are now available to adorn on your signature just the way you like it.
Now I can put my logo into my signature, just so people know who I am (yeah right).
It looks like the only option for this right now is to provide a URL for an image’s location. I’m assuming this is because Google doesn’t want to have to load these images from their own server; you want to use a pretty picture you’re going to have to host it yourself.
I can’t wait to get one with a middle finger as the signature. Seriously, some Gmail users have been angry and repressed for not having this feature. Send me one, if you want to make me laugh. I’m trying to write some fun posts over here.

try as I might, I cannot get the feature to work. I cannot link to an image! I can never click OK to continue.

I recieved some emails about this post that didn’t have signatures either. Go figure.
