- From the "EDIT" menu select "Properties" option, this will pop up a new window
- where you can change the properties on MailTool. Select "Templates", give it a
- name, I use Signature, and specify .sign or .signature file to be used.
-
- Now when you are composing a message, from "Include" menu select the "template"
- option and select a template you want. You can define different templates and
- include different one depending on where you are sending the mail.
-
- Hope this helps :-)
