I'm not currently working on Macs, but they had copy, cut and paste
functions LONG before any other OS (or OS pretender like MS Windows) did.
Might I suggest keeping a your signature in a straight text file you can
open with, say, TeachText, copy to the clipboard, then paste into your mail
program?

We use QuickMail (Macintosh)
Bonni, you're not alone -- I have to type everything in as well (unless,
just
maybe, there's some savvy QuickMail user out there who knows something I
don't).
P.S., while I seem to be luckiest in regard to automatically
replying singly or broadcast-ly(?) to messages (cc:Mail includes
options for such), almost everyone else seems to have it better
when it comes to automatic signatures (I have to type my entire
name, corporation, email address, etc. EVERY time, she cried
plaintively). What programs are people using to read their email?
I'm using ccMail 2.0 for Windows.
