I've looked in the Mail help, and followed the detailed instructions
there and from 3 websites I googled. Still can't get a signature on my
emails.

I created a signature for just the one account I want it on. I opened
the customization box and selected signature, so the signature box now
appears in the lower right of the header, but the signature isn't there.
The only available option is "none". Anybody know the secret trick to
actually get a signature to show so I can select it? Better yet, just
have it automatically attach to every email going out from that account.
This is easier even in GroupWise, in which everything is tricky!

Works for me.

Mail > Preferences > Signatures

Select an account in the column on the left side.

In the middle column, create a signature (if necessary) by clicking the
+ button at the bottom of the list, and give it an appropriate name.

Select the signature in that list and enter the text for it in the field
on the right side.

At the bottom of the window, click on the Choose Signature menu and
select the signature by name. (If you skip this step, the default
signature will be None but you can still choose any signature listed for
the account.)

Close preferences.

Create a new message. In the From popup menu, select the e-mail address
for the account for which you created a signature. The Signature popup
menu on the right side shows the name of the signature and it appears in
the blank message body. You can get rid of it by selecting "None" from
the Signature popup menu.

Reply to an existing message received by that account and the signature
appears at the bottom of the message.

I am confused. I have 5 addresses I use for different purposes and a
variety of signatures to pick from, and I am doomed to using
SnowLeopard. It killed or added complications to several programs, but
Mail still works properly. Mail on the iPad is limited to one address,
but that's hardly the Sabretooth's fault.

Do you have multiple accounts configured? When you select a From
address, the signature menu will only offer the signatures associated
with the account that the address comes from, otherwise it will just
contain None.
