Does anyone know how to associate e-mail signatures with your (from) e-mail addresses in Mail.app (Panther or Tiger solutions welcome)? I like to use a different signature for business and personal e-mails and selecting one or the other is a royal pain.
Mail.app 2.0 in Tiger supports it in the preferences. Just go to the signatures area and you’ll see.
Use different e-mail addresses for personal and biz use.
jevgen – I do, that is the whole point.
I seem to have it down. Check it out.
Hope that helps
Unfortunately, that only works if you set up an account for each address. I use this technique instead.
MailEnhancer used to do the trick…

…but I think the Tiger updates (adding the simple sig association feature) might have stepped on this ME functionality.
It’s a bummer, because it was so easy to use: all you had to do was name the sig with the address of the email account and you were good to go.
I’d love to hear if you ever find a solution (and will share if I do as well).
Perhaps you could use Textpander to store the sigs.
Then you could insert them as needed with short abbreviations like “bbus” and “ppers”.
It’s not a perfect solution, but it would be a quick-enough work-around, especially if you are a keyboard-focussed person and prefer keyboard shortcuts to fiddling around with a mouse in the signatures drop-down box.
[…] Alex King doesn’t like at all the way Mail handles signatures for multiple aliases on one account. […]
