Apple Mail Shows HTML Instead of Signature (Fix)

Short answer:
If you see HTML code instead of a signature in Apple Mail, the “Always match my default font” setting is enabled. Disable it and update your Xink signatures.

Summary: This issue occurs when Apple Mail overrides the formatting of Xink signatures. Disabling the default font setting and reapplying signatures resolves the problem.

Sometimes you may see HTML code instead of the actual signature in the Signatures section in Apple Mail, like this:

Steps to fix the issue

1. Remove all Xink signatures manually from Apple Mail and click Save.
2. Go to Mail > Preferences > Signatures:
   • Select each account and the All Signatures folder.
   • Ensure “Always match my default font” is unchecked everywhere.
3. Open the Xink client and enter your access code again if needed.
4. Click Update Signatures.
5. Verify that the checkbox remains unchecked after the signatures are added.
6. Drag and drop the signature to your email account and select it from the Choose Signature dropdown.
7. Create a new email to confirm the signature displays correctly.

Next steps

Your signature should now display correctly without showing HTML code.
