<p dir="auto">Hi Benny,</p>
<p dir="auto">I've just realized what the difference is. On the one computer where the feature works as intended, there was a period of time where I had no signatures configured, so I think MailMate treated my default signature as "No signature" because of that.</p>
<p dir="auto">On my newer computer, where I've always had signatures configured, MailMate was <em>always</em> trying to insert a signature, despite the fact that there were many previous emails where I had not used a signature <em>on that computer</em>.</p>
<p dir="auto">And so I was expecting the default to be "No signature", in accordance with the documentation that you linked to:</p>
</div>
<div style="white-space:normal"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #777; color:#777; margin:0 0 5px; padding-left:5px"><p dir="auto">In MailMate, the choice of default signature is based on the main recipient of the email rather than the account/identity used. MailMate looks for the most recent email to the same recipient and reuses the choice of signature.</p>
</blockquote></div>
<div style="white-space:normal">
<p dir="auto">However, I realized that the problem is that I never actually select "No signature" from the dropdown "Signature" menu in the composer. Instead, I usually just delete the signature manually, and so it seems that MailMate does not actually register that as sending an email with no signature, so future emails are still populated with a default signature, even though I have sent many emails without a signature to that recipient on that computer.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior? I'm not sure how hard it would be to detect if the user has manually deleted the signature rather than selecting "No signature" from the dropdown menu.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, thanks for the response and for the great email client!</p>

<blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #777; color:#999; margin:0 0 5px; padding-left:5px; border-left-color:#999"><p dir="auto">I have similar problems with signatures: I set up signatures with defined addresses, but — particularly when I reply — to one of those addresses, the signature doesn’t seem to be inserted.</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">If you mean the address-option (for each signature) in the Signatures preferences pane then you have misunderstood the feature. This list of addresses can be used to lock a signature to specific identities (your identities), e.g., to make sure that a business signature is only used (available in the composer) when sending from your business email address.<br>

</blockquote><p dir="auto">It is described here, but it was written before the “addresses” feature was added: <a href="https://manual.mailmate-app.com/compose#signatures" style="color:#777">https://manual.mailmate-app.com/compose#signatures</a><br>

</blockquote></blockquote><p dir="auto">As described in the manual, the fallback is MailMate trying to determine what you most often do when an explicit choice does not exist. The reason it might give a different result on two different machines is that MailMate can only look at the previous choices done on the same machine (since the choice is currently only saved locally).<br>
