You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter ‘.’, the field will be left blank.

Creating signature in thunderbird using HTML code

Here is the simple way to create signature using HTML code for Thunderbird.
I’m uisng font Times New Roman in this example:

**

<font face=“times new roman”>
Regards,
<br><b>NAME</b>
<br>POSITION
<br>COMPANY
<br><img moz-do-not-send=“false” src=“file:PICTURE_DIRECTORY”> PHONE_NUMBER
<a href=“mailto:MAIL_ADDRESS”> MAIL_ADDRESS</a>
</font>

**
A lil’ bit explanation for the code up there:

  • Since i want to use font Times New Roman for my signature, so, i open the code with <font face=”FONT_NAME”>, and I end the font face at the bottom of the quote </font>. Actually, not only u can change the font used but u also can change the color, size n etc
  • Next, I want to start with a new line, so i put command <br>, it stands for break from the current like make a new line
  • Instead of using the same style for the font, i change the name using bold function <b> and u must have the end quote for bold </b>
  • This is the code for you to add picture <img moz-do-not-send=”false” src=”file:PICTURE_DIRECTORY”>, we need moz-do-not-send=”false” to ensure that html accept the picture. For Picture_Directory, make sure that you put the full path.
  • This is how for u to add e-mail links in your HTML code <a href=”mailto:MAIL_ADDRESS”> MAIL_ADDRESS</a>
  • Save the file with extension html, e.g: FILE_NAME.html

That’s all for it.. Have fun!!
