In an e-mail message, a signature
is a small amount of text that appears at the bottom of the message.
Instead of typing this information manually, you can create the
signature once and then have Windows Live Mail add the signature
automatically to any message you send.
Signatures usually contain personal contact
information, such as your phone numbers, business address, and e-mail
and Web site addresses. Some people supplement their signatures with
wise or witty quotations.
Windows Live Mail also supports multiple signatures,
which is useful if you use Mail for different purposes such as business
and personal. You can also configure Mail to automatically add one of
your signatures to any message you send.
