How to create rich HTML email signatures on your iPhone and iPad
If you've got an iPhone and iPad, you most likely have all your e-mail accounts linked to it. Not only can you create multiple email signatures for each account, you can also add HTML links such as links to a website or email address. This is a great way to give people you email access to the content that matters most.
Not sure how? Follow along and we'll help.
Most people already have email and webpage links in the desktop version of their email clients. There's actually an easy way to transfer your existing signatures right to your iPhone and iPad.
- Send yourself an email message from your computer or device that already has HTML signatures set up on it. It can be just a blank email with your signature.
- Open that email on your iPhone or iPad.
- Press and hold down on the signature in order to bring up the selection tool. Move the anchors so you have the entire signature highlighted.
- Tap on Copy.
- Now press the Home button to return to your Home screen.
- Launch the Settings app from your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Scroll down and tap on Signature.
- Find the name of the account you'd like to change and tap on the screen in that text box once to bring up the paste menu and tap on paste.
- Your new signature will now be complete with HTML links. Anyone who clicks on a link to a website or email address will automatically be routed to website or new message automatically.

Good artical. I have been wanting to do this. Thank you.
I've been wondering how this works, thanks!
I like the post, and love that now in iOS 6 you can do HTML signatures!
But.... Did you know.... You can create an HTML link in your signature to would auto dial you on FaceTime, or Skype?
For instance, in my email signature, I have the below
Simon Hardy | Mobile Security Architect | FishNet Security | +44 (x) xxxxx xxxxxx | +1 (xxx) xxx xxxx | FaceTime | Skype | LinkedIn
When someone gets my email, they see that FaceTime, Skype, and LinkedIn are all HTML links, and when they click them they will either dial me on FaceTime (if they click it from an iPhone, iPad or Mac), dial me on Skype (if they are on a device with Skype installed) or will take them to my LinkedIn profile.
It's really easy to do this...
For a FaceTime link, all you need to do is set the URL of the word you want in your signature to this...
facetime://YourAppleID
Where "YourAppleID" is either an email address or phone number that someone can FaceTime you on.
Skype is just as easy....
For a Skype link, all you need to do is set the URL of the word you want in your signature to this...
skype:YourSkypeID?call
Where "YourSkypeID" is Skype username where someone can call you on.
Not sure if this will help anyone, but I've found it really useful and folks seem to enjoy to ease of use!
Si,
Can you post the context?
How do you put a company logo into your signature?
Awesome thanks!
Or, you could just download the 'Sigs' app from the App Store.
