Customizing Your BlackBerry Signature

If you have ever received e-mail from someone with a BlackBerry, you are no doubt aware that by default each message gets automatically tagged with the familiar signature "This e-mail was sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry."

True, this obviously provides some free marketing and publicity for the BlackBerry folks, and it does tell all your friends and colleagues that you are hip and use the latest technology. But it does also have a more useful aspect in that it clues your
recipients in to the fact that you composed your message on-the-go with a thumb keyboard.

Still, most BlackBerry users don’t realize that they are not doomed to have every message they send from their BlackBerry formatted this way.Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to put a more professional or customized signature on your outgoing messages, as you do in your desktop e-mail program?

Changing Your Blackberry Signature from the Desktop
If you use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager as an e-mail redirector, you can change the default signature by editing your redirector settings:

1. Make sure that your BlackBerry is connected to your desktop computer with the supplied USB cable.
2. Make sure that the Desktop Manager is running, and click the Redirector Settings icon. A number of tabs appear on the next screen.
3. Click the General tab, and you will see the Auto Signature field with the default text in it.
4. Edit the text and save your changes, and your outgoing BlackBerry e-mails should now bear your new signature.
