Q&A: How do you create links in signatures in Apple Mail ?

From the mailbag:
Q: In Mail when I set up a signature, which includes a link to a company website, Mail does not see it as a link -
does not underline it or change the color to a typical blue color. Is there a way to tell it to do this or is there a way I can change the color of the text when setting up the signature?

A:
Yes, there is a way to make it a link.

1. Open Mail.app
2. Go to Preferences -> Signatures
3. Select or create the signature you want to add the link to.
4. Highlight the portion of text you want to create a hyperlink with.
5. Hold down Control and Click on that text. Choose 'EDIT LINK' from the contextual menu.

6. Type in the URL. For example http://www.thinkmac.net
7. Click OK

Now you should have a hyperlink in your email signature.
