What is it?

SignatureProfiler is a plugin for Apple's Mail application that adds missing features for the way that signatures are handled and managed with your outgoing mail messages, especially if you have multiple mail accounts (and who doesn't these days). It was originally written to make up for the complete lack of signature management in versions 1.x of the program, but even the latest versions are still missing some capabilities if you use several different accounts and what to share signatures between accounts.

Other features are the ability to integrate iTunes information (currently playing song) as well as random signatures from a quote file list. With scripting capability as well you can itegrate any way you'd like.

Once you have installed SignatureProfiler, you will be able to use the same signature to generate both of these different signatures, as an example:

   

In a word, what this plugin does for you is add the ability to have replaceable tags in your signatures that are context sensitive to the Mail account (and even the email address within an account) that you are sending from. In addition, you can have it autofill information from iTunes into a signature as well. Each account can also have an entire replaceable piece that is used for that account only if a certain tag is in the signature. That's how the "Professional Assasin" appears above. It is what is called the "Tail Signature" for the Phil Anthro account.

The SignatureProfiler plugin is now available only for Leopard & Snow Leopard and is a Universal Binary. The installer makes a small change to the Mail preferences, if necessary, that needs to happen for Mail to recognize the plugin. As of version (1.5.2) I'm only providing support for Leopard and Snow Leopard. It may actually work on Tiger still, but I haven't tried it.
