Hi all, Lew: To the best of my knowledge, the signature setting on the iPhone Mail App is not synchronized through iTunes. Also, unless you jailbreak your phone, I am not aware of any proxy that would emulate the email as being sent from Ms Outlook or Apple Mail (Desktop version).
Kaleb, the reason why I spotted this is because I also have a console based client and one of the field I chose to see in my email headers is the user agent. Now, I can say with a rather high certitude that some of the emails with signatures like Sent from my iPhone, or sent from my super cool iPhone, or sent from my super super cool iPhone… where in fact sent from a computer rather than a phone. And Nancy, I totally approve your idea. I kept my signature on my iPhone for the exact same reason. The question here is why people add "Sent from my iPhone" while the email is actually sent from their computer? Anyhow, I think we should disregard this thread. It did not meant to be offensive at all, but I am not sure this is leading anywhere good. :) All the best, E On Jan 12, 2012, at 6:39 PM, Mr. L.
