Email and the Mac

Indextop20050412Well, I have had my PowerBook for about 2 weeks now, I think, and I have really enjoyed using it.  I am curious what other Mac users use for email.  I have Office for the Mac which includes Entourage and the built in Apple Mail.  I am getting a bit irritated with Entourage as it has this tendency to download mail that is about 3 weeks old.  On the whole I like using Entourage because of all the other stuff it does that the Apple stuff doesn’t (provision for travel time in the Entourage calender app, for example) but the email side of things bugs me.

On the other hand Mail doesn’t seem to allow for certain basic things like more formatting options for email signatures and it does strange stuff with email attachments.

What do you use for email on your Mac?  If you use Mail, any ideas how I can add better formatting functionality for email signatures?

    Here's a copy of tricks you could try: one to add a graphic and the other to insert an HTML sig into Mail.app

    I'm a mail.app guy myself, wrute the text you want for your sig in another app, or in a mail message itself, customise it to suit, then copy and paste it into the sig area under prefs.
    Good luck…!

    Thanks Tim and Rich!! I followed the suggested process at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050706181449478 which worked out quite well. While Entourage has its benefits, I am using Mail as my primary email app for the time being. It just seems to give me fewer hassles.
