219197 - Put signature in UI textarea rather than selecting file

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, enhancement)

Description

[brambi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030430 Debian/1.3-5
Build Identifier: 

Mozilla Mail can only import a signature from a txt file. You can not write a
signature in the client itself. This is very hard for an end user (open text
editor, write sig, save file, point mozilla to file, done). My dad was unable to
complete it with my assistance.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Provide a text field where you can directly write a signature.

Old summary: signature textarea missing
I thought sure there'd be a dupe for this, but could only find bug 65574 and
multi-sigs.

Thunderbird should also allow the user to turn off a third party signature. 
Right at this moment, every email that I send has my Thwate signature attached.
 I have pulled my hair out trying to kill this, to no avail.  I do not want to
uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird, and there is no assurance that this will
even work.  

I do occasionally want the Thwate signature attached, but only rarely.

I'm not even sure I can figure out how to put in a 3rd party sig file.  Heck, I just want to list my website and salutation so I don't have to type it every time.

No news  since more than 1 year for this bug? 
Shouldn't be possible to have it for Thunderbird 3? The actual behavior is really to complicated for normal user, and it would be great to have this old bug fix in TB3!

The corresponding TB bug is bug 324495.

The patch for bug 324495 also contained the necessary SeaMonkey updates:
http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/12e923a82a10

See bug 488469 for adding HTML-edit capabilities, bug 73567 asks for multiple signatures from which a user can select.
