[MlMt] How do I generate a new uuid for a signature entry in the Signatures.plist file?

[Henry Seiden]

Leo,

Many ways lead to Rome. Did you take a longer road? I use the Menu based 
approach.

Settings: Signature based on History: New Messages and Replies, Default 
signature: All, Signature placement: Top, Caret Placement: Above 
Signature.

In settings you can add a signature per Source. A new window opens for 
the Signature compose. There, add the following:
* Name the signature in a separate window.
* Set the text appearance you want.
* Paste the html variant code,
* Select a compose Theme for the new html message.

All are detailed in the MailMate Help Menu>Compose>Signatures. Bottom 
line, there is no need to edit the .plist. I you are interested in my 
code, I can send you a link off-list.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
