I am using mailspring in Ubuntu. I want to use Signature option.
I have created 2 signatures, one for a new message and other for Replies/Forward. So how can I select this…
In outlook, we have an option to select one signature for new message and other signature for reply/forward. I dont see that option here.

Hey @rizwank23 thanks for reporting this! This would definitely be cool - I wasn’t aware of that feature in Outlook but I think it’d definitely make sense. Right now you can choose a signature as the default for an account, but there’s no way to select it for replies / new messages only.

At a minimum, it would be great if there was a checkbox option to turn on/off signatures for replies. Right now, you have to remember to erase them each time or - in a long thread - you can get many signature copies.
I’d like to add my own 2¢, if I may.
I thought of starting a new thread, but I think my idea fits quite well into the current discussion.
How about making auto-selecting signatures more robust? I mean like: filter-grade robust. The thing is, I think everyone has on his contact list people with whom he has different kind of relation. Some of them are friends, so in their case some nick-containing, familiar signature is fine, but some contacts are “official”, so more formal signature is in order. It may be said that one shouldn’t mix his private and professional mails, but sometimes it’s just more practical to do so. At the same time remembering to select the right every time is a bit bothersome, not to mention error-prone. So…
How about giving signatures a filter-based conditional applicability? It may even be a part of filtering, rule-processing functionality, but instead of e.g. “Apply tag” there would be an action like “Apply signature” or… “Apply template”.
About the OP use case, I think it could also be done in filtering section, but this time it would require defining some new conditions. So beside “From” or “To”, there would be “When replying”, “When replying to all” or “When recipient in” (e.g. “When recipient” “is in” “”). Then there could be “If message has attachments”, “Contains a text matching regex”, I think that explains it quite clearly.
It seems quite comprehensible to me, not too difficult to implement and yet waaaay more powerful than any “Use this signature when writing a new message” and “Use this signature when replying” pair of options.
As an added bonus, the very same functionality may be utilized by templates as well. Just imagine having different templates applied for different recipients automatically. Bam! Done! :}
Gmail has this ability too. Would like to disable signatures for replies
This is a must for me.
I have different signatures for different aliases that I have setup in Gmail.
It would be super helpful to mirror their system.
