Oh wow, not much to say here... Please just name your great companies and what you've done there! ITA Software, Inc., Pollak Engineered Products or even RCN? Never heard of one of these... but that's not even the point. You, sir, are a network engineer. Why should somebody force you to add signature? Of course this is not meant for everybody in the company. It's for the guys who are in deep contact with the customers. It does also look like you are a freelancer - this is a complete different setting as a normal employee doesn't have so much freedom in his job - that's a benefit of freelancing. But just write an email to any "big player" and see what you get in return - if you get any email without a nice formatted signature let me know the name pls :-)
And I personally don't give a damn if they will implement it or not. It was a suggestion how to improve this app - I don't even use it as it does not suit my needs. I just searched an app supporting the html signatures and there is just few (good) round Android. Thanks anyway for the hint that K-9 is open source. I indeed did not know that. And since I AM a developer it may be possible to add this myself instead of creating a whole new app - so again: thanks for that. Am Donnerstag, 19.
