Add a signature in ThunderBird: to reply, with image
Signatures allow users to include the information to be sent with every email, including name, contact details or a quote. Colored signatures are particularly helpful when the mailbox is configured to send automated replies or messages.
To add a signature under Thunderbird, use the mail settings tab. Thunderbird allows you to set a signature automatically added at the end of every email you send. Note: It is possible to add an automatic signature under Thunderbird e-mail. The information that forms the signature must be put into a file and saved in HTML format to be viewed properly in an internet browser.
