Description Simon Oosthoek 2003-10-09 19:26:06 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

Whenever I send a bugreport to the developers, (be it opensource or commercial developers) I have to add a description of my system for the report to make any sense. A signature could hold that information and whenever I send such a report, I would like to select the correct signature or signaturescript to generate a recent one.

A workaround is to create multiple identities, but that's counter-intuitive, since it's always me ;-)

Kmail2 is catching up nice. I've been able to use it again for gmail imap account due to recent changes related to html, google calendar, google contacts, etc. However this feature I really miss. Having multiple signatures and selecting different while composing mail can be very handy.

Comment 7 Steeven Hudon 2016-09-02 03:08:35 UTC

I would also like to have that feature in Kmail2 : 

At work, I use Microsoft Outlook, and the multiple signatures feature  gives me the opportunity to change every mail's signature to taste (depending on what I included in my mail) - without having to have template-e-mails or anything like it.  For example, for a standard mail, I could select any of theses three signatures I would have created :
1. Thank you and have a nice day !  (default)
2. See file(s) attached.  Thank you and have a nice day !
3. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to write us back. Thank you and have a nice day !

It could be possible to create list of signatures and assign any of those signatures as default for each Identity in Kmail, and then, when writing a mail, to have the choice to select any of the other signatures available, when required.

Comment 8 Laurent Montel 2016-09-02 04:50:25 UTC

Signature depends against identity.
So I don't have idea how to add it without complexify interface.

This can be solved by using snippets. Just create a snippet with your system information and then it is easy to include it in any of the email where you need it :)
