Remove “Please excuse my brevity” from K9 Android app signature

There are many email apps for Android but my current weapon of choice is ‘K9 mail’. For the uninitiated K9 is an email management app that lets you manage several email accounts and provides the normal notification options you would expect. k9mail

Like most email applications it has a ‘helpful’ default signature that it applies to every email you send out i.e “Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.”

Some people may like this but when I discovered it, I wanted to either customise it or remove the message entirely. So here is how it’s done.



Customise or remove the default K9 email signature

1. Open the K9 mail application on your Android device.
2. Choose the relevant account and go to Settings >Account Settings > Sending mail > Composition defaults.
3. You will see ”Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.” in the “Signature” box.
4. Untick the signature box to remove all the text or edit the signature with your own text.
