But if you combine the power of <strong>greasemonkey with Firefox<\/strong>, you can add html email signature to Gmail!<\/p>\n<p>Greasemonkey is a powerful Firefox plugin that allows you to <strong>change how your favorite pages behave<\/strong> and look. If you power up Firefox with Greasemonkey and then add the appropriate scripts, you can modify the functionality of any web page.<\/p>\n<p>After enabling Greasemonkey, get the Gmail Signature Float userscript. It will modify gmail in 3 amazing ways &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moves your signature in Gmail to the <strong>top of the quoted message<\/strong> rather than the bottom. I still wonder why gmail attaches the signature at the bottom of forwarded or replied messages. This fixes that issue.<\/li>\n<li> Secondly it can <strong>strip out the two dashes<\/strong> that Gmail automatically places above the signature. If those 2 dashes irritated you, they are gone now.<\/li>\n<li>Thirdly, It enables the ability to <strong>add HTML to signatures<\/strong>, and the ability to leave turn off and on &#8220;floating&#8221; of the signature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course there is the trick of using the Feedburner Email Headline Animator in Gmail via using desktop email clients like Outlook. If you want a more powerful gmail experience, Gina Tripani at Lifehacker has compiled several Gmail Greasemonkey scripts (including the Gmail Signature) into a cool firefox extension called <a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/software\/gmail\/lifehacker-code-better-gmail-firefox-extension-251923.php\" rel=\"noopener\">Better Gmail<\/a>, (now listed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2005\/12\/50-best-firefox-extensions-for-power-surfing\/\">50 best firefox extensions<\/a>) which adds a long list menu of optional extra features to Gmail worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always wanted to attach a html email signature to Gmail, but by default gmail does not allow html email&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computers","category-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2357\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
