action. You can now return to Safari and load the
website again. If all goes to plan then the website

email template in the Mac
Mail app?
Open your Mail app and
then create a new email
as normal, but don’t enter
an address to send to or a
subject. In the new email
you can start creating a
signature to go at the end
of your emails, so type in
the basic text and then click
on the ‘A’ icon in the email
toolbar to make full use
of the formatting facilities,
including bullet points,
images and other styles.
You can also select words
or phrases, Ctrl/right+click
on them and add links, if
required. When you are
happy with the results,
select all of your signature
text and then copy it. Now
go to Mail>Preferences>
Signatures, select an email
account to use and then
click on the ‘+’ icon to add
a new signature. Rename
your new signature and
then untick the box next to
‘Always match my default
message font’. Now, in the
main window, paste your
recently-created signature
text. This will now form your
regular email template or
standard reply. You can
set up templates for any
purpose such as an ‘out
of office’ reply or just your
contact details. To use a
created signature, create
a new email and then you
should see a ‘Signature’
menu next to the ‘From’
field. Simply choose your
preferred signature using
this menu.This was a widely reported problem when iOS 13 was first released
and subsequent bugfix updates have helped to eradicate the issue (go
to Settings>General>Software Update and make sure you are running
the latest version). However, if the problem persists then there are a few
workarounds for you to try that we have outlined here.Theone-stop
