Properly Adding an Email Signature to your iOS Device

There is a little trick to adding an email signature and preserving your email formatting on anĀ iOS device!

The first step is to email yourself from your computer so that you have the proper formatting for your signature like so.

Then once you have done that, open up said email on your iOS device. Once there, copy and paste the signature by holding down your finger and hitting Select.
