Today a client asked how to make the signature on emails sent from his iPhone look like the signatures he set up on his desktop system. I had t admit that I had not gotten around to updating my signature even though I made a mental note to do so every time I saw the default “Sent from my iPhone” signature added to the end of my messages!
So we had to find a solution which was workable and easy to support. This immediately excludes anything involving Jailbreaking your phone!
Within a few minutes I had installed and configured A+ Email Signature Pro from ideasUnplugged at a cost of $5.99 which I suggest is quite reasonable for the capabilities and professionalism of the application.
Here’s a brief list of capabilities:
- multiple signatures (business, private, club etc
- optional photo (avatar)
- business logo
- social network links
- links to blogs, website etc
I suggest that you still set your default signature to something more closely resembling what you would like as some emails will still be prepared with the default. If this is of concern for a particular message, just copy the message body, exit the mail application and fire up Signature to get the desired signature added. Then paste the copied content above the signature.
There is also a free Lite version which might meet your needs. However, I did not investigate this version.
All in all a successful outcome and yet another app installed!

I’m liking this app more and more. The current version has an option to email your signatures to yourself for use in other applications.
I have also discovered that I can compose an email normally and, leaving the cursor at the signature point, switch to EmailSignaturePro to select and insert a signature in the email.
This makes EmailSignaturePro a must for day to day use.
