Global Signatures

Use the Global Signatures dialog box to build a list of globally available signatures that can be automatically appended to messages sent by GroupWise^® client users. Global signatures are created in HTML format. For users who prefer the Plain Text compose view in the GroupWise client, a plain text version of the signature is appended instead of the HTML version. When this occurs, HTML formatting and embedded images are lost, but you can customize the plain text version as needed to compensate for the loss of HTML formatting.

For Windows* client users, the global signature is appended by the client to messages after any personal signatures that users create for themselves. It is appended after the user clicks Send. If S/MIME encryption is enabled, the global signature is encrypted along with the rest of the message. Windows client users can choose whether global signatures are appended only for recipients outside the local GroupWise system or for all recipients, local as well as external. For Windows client users, you can assign a global signature based on users, resources, post offices, and domains using Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Client Options > Send > Global Signature.

For all client users, global signatures can be appended to the end of messages by the Internet Agent for recipients outside the local GroupWise system. However, the Internet Agent does not append global signatures to S/MIME-encoded messages, nor does it duplicate global signatures already appended by the Windows client. You can assign a default global signature for all users in your system and then override that default by editing the properties of each Internet Agent object (SMTP/MIME > Message Formatting > Default Global Signature to Insert in Outbound Messages > Override).
