Have you ever wondered what the information is that is displayed at the bottom of the email messages that you receive from friends, family or colleagues? It often consists of their name, phone number, address and job title, or might even contain a disclaimer about the message being intended only for you, the recipient. They do not type this message every time that they create a message, but rather use a utility in their mail program called a signature. Any email program that features a signature option will allow you to customize it in a number of different ways. You might think that this is a feature that would only be included in mail programs like Microsoft Outlook, but you can also learn how to edit your signature in Hotmail.
