Scott Little has released a substantial update to his SignatureProfiler plugin for Apple Mail, which manages signatures and adds extra features like iTunes info and account-specific tail signatures.

The new version (1.3) adds the option to insert a variety of Skype images into your sig, new placeholders for images and hyperlinks in your sigs, greater stability and more.

Most usefully of all, it now allows you to add HTML and CSS to signatures without all the messing around with cryptically-named files like 92768111-8FA1-4572-977D-C94D7A5FDB9A.webarchive that was involved in previous signature hacks like this and this .

Now, creating fancy signatures is much easier. A new contextual menu in SignatureProfiler for Mail’s signature preference pane makes it fast, easy and error-free:

You can drop an HTML file or a webarchive right into the signature you want. Options to add an obscured email address and other fields which SignatureProfiler fills in when constructing the signature means that you can construct great signatures in minutes:

Of course, this will appeal most to fans of Rich Text emails rather than to old fuddy-duddies like me.

Still, the ability to add info about your iTunes habits, account-specific tail signatures and other features of the plugin do not break the sacred bonds of plain text brotherhood, so there is lots for every Mail.app user to enjoy here.

SignatureProfiler is donation-ware and it is available from Scott’s web site .
