Google Apps Finally Has Rich Text In Signatures

I guess I should admit that I've been a closet Outlook user for the past several months. Sometimes I felt I needed to send emails with my rich text email signature, busy and gaudy as it may be, and Google Apps simply didn't have that feature. Since Google Apps uses Gmail, this all applies to Gmail users.

It looks like my closet Outlook days are done! You can see what my signature looks like below - much prettier than simple text, although some might suggest that beauty in this case is in the eye of the beholder. 

I upgraded to Office 2010 but needed to stay with Outlook 2007 because of compatibility issues with Google Sync. Now I don't have to worry about it, and neither do you! 

Here is  the Official Google Blog post on upgrades to Google Apps, including the rich text signature at
