That needs changing. Try to enclose the whole content into ... . The MIME type is guessed from the file content, unless you set it on the signature object beforehand.

When you look at the top of the composer window there's a From: line, beside which is a Signature: combo. That's the place where you can change the signature before sending/when composing the message.

The box controlling signatures (per account) is at Preferences -> Mail Accounts -> Edit -> Identity -> Signature. As you see, a sig now appears. The only remaining problem is how to get the sig to appear in the default font (similar to Arial, but not the same) rather than Monospace. My original sig generated HTML, which was appropriate at one time (the web page I was using for advice, https://www.cameratim.com/computing/linux/evolution-signatures, dates to 2007), but is evidently now not correct. Is there a way to have evolution interpret the sig as HTML? -- Sincerely: Jonathan Ryshpan ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

When I open a composer window to create a new email, nothing unusual happens: no messages from evolution, etc.; no signature appears before I start editing. If in a new composer window I check the only option to control signature (but probably the wrong kind of signature), namely Options->S/MIME Sign clicking "Send" fails with the message: Could not create message. You may need to select different mail options. Detailed error: Cannot sign outgoing message: No signing certificate set for this account I don't see anything in evolution->edit->preferences->Composer Preferences->Signature to control which signature is the default. The various relevant options in evolution->edit->preferences->Composer Preferences->General don't seem to affect anything, probably because no signatures are ever inserted.

Am I setting things up wrong, > or is this a bug? The signature script works by adding it when you open the composer (or when changing the signature). What happens when you open a new email? Does it work if in the composer window you choose your script in the Signature dropdown? You may need to set it as the default signature.
