Google Tip #1

Tweaking Your Signature

Have you noticed your signature appears below a dashed line and under the quoted text in an email? You can change that so your signature appears directly under your emails by enabling a Lab.


In your inbox, click on the cog/wheel and choose "Settings" from the drop-down.


Click on the "Labs" tab from the top menu.


From the list of labs, scroll to the "Signature Tweaks" lab.


Click the radio button to "Enable" this lab.


Be sure to click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.


Open an email message and you should notice that the -- line is gone and your signature is at the bottom of the current message.
