  that's usually handled by either the client application, which might either use a template that includes the signature, or an option that appends the signature to the bottom of an email.

  Depending on the mail server itself, many can add a signature there as well, and it can be appended on a specific user or global basis; for example, all outbound mail hitting our exchange server has some boilerplate verbiage attached to the bottom; but that's a mail server setting, and not something that is part of SQL server's database mail .

  check with your email administrator to see what is possible on the server side; otherwise, you want to handle any signitures yourself;

  For example you could create a procedure sp_mydbMail, which uses sp_send_dbmail, but appends a signiture to whatever parameters are sent to it.

  I modified sp_send_dbmail and added the following line at the start of the proc.

  SET @body = @body + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'SQL Server Mail Sent From ' + @@SERVERNAME;

  Note, you will lose these changes when you install service packs.

  Try setting the @body_format='HTML' and format your html tag (Body) while sending Emails, there by you can add signature.
