Google adds rich text sigs to GMail
Google has finally added two of the features I have really been waiting for - Rich Text Signatures and unique signatures for different e-mail addresses. See Official GMail Blog.
Rich text signatures let you create a .sig for your e-mail account using different fonts, colors, links, images, etc. Make it as fancy as you want or keep it simple. Add a company logo, highlight your phone number, whatever. Just go to "Settings" in GMail and under the "General" tab, use the editor to create your sig.
The other feature was to allow you to have different signatures for each e-mail address you are sending mail from in that account. I use my Google Apps account as my central e-mail point. Mail from several accounts end up there and I send out messages from those accounts from there. In the past, if I let GMail add a signature, it was the same for each of the different accounts. Now I can set up a different signatures for my personal mail and my work mail. Or no sig file for the account that I use to post to Posterous with.
Much of this could be done using browser plug-ins or extensions, but this is a clean implementation that works really well. I've been using Wisestamp to do this. Wisestamp works in both Chrome and Foxpro, but had the limitation of only giving you two signatures - say one for business and one personal - but did let you embed your twitter, facebook and other social networking stuff in a really slick way.
Oh... this works with both GMail and Google Apps mail accounts.
Thanks Google.
