email signature on reply

[cj1896]

I have touchdown it didn't work well with my works server?

How do I make a note to copy and paste?

I think touchdown will do it. It's a bit pricey - $20 in the market. I just keep my sig in a note and copy it and paste it into an e-mail before I send it.

Just download a note app (evernote, quicknotes, whatever) and make a note of your signature. You can then copy that text and leave it in your clipboard to paste.

The stock e-mail client is just bojangles...You cannot have a sig on replies. A while ago the client was hacked to do this with 2.1 (which had no sig support at all). I think this is part of BB's patents and thus not available. That is the reason they still dominate on exchange support.

I have a new (2 days old) DroidX and have a connection to the corp exchange server. I changed my signature on the phone and it does appear on the replies i send. Or am i misunderstanding you?

I am still not sure how to copy & paste? How do I keep it in my clipboard?

Try "Improved Email" from android market.....its built on the same native android email platform but has additional features like forward / reply signatures. You can also set colors to different email accounts. Works pretty good on my droid1.

I went ahead and deleted my stock android email.apk using RootExplorer, rebooted phone, searched and installed Improved Email from market, moved it from /data/app-private to system/app, set permissions to rw-r--r-- (or run fix permissions via Rom Manager), reboot phone and then set up email.

Hope this helps...I was frustrated with sometimes losing the email push connectivity of the stock email.apk and also having no forward/ reply signature for my work's exchange email.

That sounds great, I could use some help setting this up?

Nevermind, it works, you have to check "always attach signature" in the settings. This is actually a pretty cool app, it adds functionality for the stock email app without being super overwhelming.

Just rolled back, it was making my phone sluggish and also broke my purecalendar widget.

After rolling back, if you remove your original exchange account and reconfigure it using this app in the accounts and sync->add new account-> corporate. It will work for both the calendar and this e-mail app while bypassing the orginal e-mail app. I think that you need the original there b/c the calendar is linked in with it.

So did you remove the orginal e-mail app 1st? if so how did you do it?

I left it in there, I just renamed it from a .apk to .bak

Are you rooted? If not root, buy root explorer in the market. Mount the system as r/w go to system/app, long press email.apk, select rename, then rename it to email.bak
