I have more than one email account I am using and they have different signature files related. When I open new email (no matter which account I am opening from) it comes with my default signature and I can not change that. Is there a way to change this behave? Is it possible that the signature will change corresponding to the email sender account signature when I change the sender? I hope my question is clear, but in case of further questions, do not hesitate to contact me please. with Best Regards, Erno Horvath

You should be able to set up a static email signature in each account's settings. I suspect it may become a little confused if you reply from within the Local Folders account; it will likely use the signature associated with Thunderbird's default account. It also messes up, I read, when you use Reply All.

I use Signature Switch. Look out for additional features like hybrid sigs, so you can have both plain text and html formatted signatures in one file. It can also choose a signature dependent on recipients/addressees rather than just the account being used when creating the message.

Some users prefer a clipboard-like tool such as QuickText or Clippings.
