Extracting Existing Signatures

A few weeks ago (in late November) a user sent me a script that looks like it might be useful for others, so I thought I would post it up here.

What it does is go through you current Mail signatures and extracts the text from each of these into a text file that you could potentially use, with a bit of cleaning up, as a quote file which you can then import into SignatureProfiler.

Thanks to Julian-G. Albert for this little Automator workflow.

SignatureProfiler 1.5.3 released for Mail 4.2

A new release to ensure compatibility with yesterday’s update to Snow Leopard and Mail.
This version only updates the compatibility with Snow Leopard, but is required for those who want to (or already have) upgraded.
For more information, visit the site or download it directly. Also please see the tutorials on the blog for how to use the plugin.

Problem with Exchange Accounts

SignatureProfiler is apparently not compatible with Exchange Accounts in Mail. This means that if you have an Exchange Account, you should not use SignatureProfiler at all!

I’ve had a couple of reports indicating that if SignatureProfiler is installed and an Exchange Account is active, it will have problems syncing data and moving messages.

Unfortunately I have no time to fix this right now, so the short term solution is to not use SignatureProfiler if you have an Exchange Account. Or don’t use you Exchange Account, but that seems less likely :-p.

It will eventually be fixed, but I cannot yet say when.

Snow Leopard Support Arrives with 1.5.2!

I know that many of you have been waiting for Snow Leopard compatibility, as I have been myself. It is here!
There are no new features in this release, but it does run on both Leopard and Snow Leopard. I have stopped supporting Tiger, though I didn’t even check to see if this runs on Tiger – it may or may not.
In any case, visit the site and download the new version. Also please see the tutorials on the blog for how to use the plugin.

Snow Leopard and SignatureProfiler

Many of you have written to let me know that the plugin no longer works with Snow Leopard. This is definately the case – there are several things that have changed with the newest version of Mail and these have affected SignatureProfiler’s ability to load properly. You hav, of course, asked about an update to support Snow Leopard. I am looking into providing a quick fix to get it working on the new version, but I cannot give you any specific date yet. I will post a new message on the blog and the SignatureProfiler homepage when the update is available. Please check back regularly.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvience.
