How to convert a plain text message to the required format in an email signature?

Usually messages sent from mobile devices like iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android phones are in the Plain text format. As a result, the signature added from Sigsync service to the messages sent from these devices does not work as expected.

Resolution:

This issue arises as a result of the mobile device's default settings. Most mobile devices' default message setting is Plain text, with no other options such as RTF or HTML. However, when replying or forwarding the messages on Apple devices, the mail will automatically switch to plain or HTML. There is also an option to switch to Rich Text Format (RTF), but this does not always work.

Follow the steps below to Force the HTML signature as the default message format for Apple or Android mobile devices in Sigsync

  1. Log in to Sigsync dashboard.
  2. Select the 'Manage Signatures' < 'Settings' tab.

Steps to change Apple mail default settings to HTML
