  1. Create your signature in HTML in a text file named temp.html.  Here’s mine:
    <font style="font-family: Verdana;" size="1">
    Adam Spriggs //
    <a href="http://sprignaturemoves.com">sprignaturemoves.com</a> //
    <a href="http://yourchurch.tv">yourchurch.tv</a> //
    <a href="http://twitter.com/wvpv">twitter.com/wvpv</a> //
    816-555-1212<br>
    "what others do with talent, I do with obstinate fixation"
    </font>
    
  2. Open temp.html in your browser — in another window
  3. Enable Labs in Gmail
  4. Enable the Canned Response feature
  5. Compose a new email
  6. Highlight your signature in the other browser window
  7. Drag it into the body of your e-mail
  8. In the Canned responses drop-down, choose new canned response.
  9. Name it “html sig”
  10. Click Settings turn off the signature
  11. From now on when you compose an e-mail, simply choose “html sig” from the canned response drop-down.
  12. Voilà
