Move Your Gmail Signature Above the Quoted Text
By Cory Miller • August 9, 2008by Jesse Petersen
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been sick and tired of scrolling to the bottom of a long thread of messages, cutting my signature, and pasting it below my reply or forward. Apparently, Keith C and Dave C were, too, because they wrote a feature in the Gmail Lab to do that automatically.
Here’s what you do:
- Go to your Settings.
- Click the Labs link on the far right.
- Scroll down to “Signature Tweaks” and select “Enable.”
- Voila! It refreshes Gmail so you lose any open chat windows, and you’re good to go.

Awesome! Does that work for Google Apps, too?
Funny you mention today… I was just noticing in class tonight that my apps account does not have a Labs link. I’m guessing “no.”
Just came across this, and I have to say “thank you” for letting us know about this tweak. I hadn’t checked out Labs before, either; looks like there are some other useful features there.
I would go so far, as to say that I love you. Now my “Gmail experience” is perfect! I will explore that “labs” thing some more…
THANK YOU !!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Question is, why do Google put your signature at the bottom of the thread in the first place?
There is no standard on whether a reply should be above or below the quoted original nor is there a standard for whether the signature should be at the bottom or below the reply, so that decision was just how the original designers felt it should work.
