Create and automatically add an email signature in Hotmail
As in any regular desktop email program, Windows Live Hotmail lets you create an email signature that will automatically be inserted in any email you send.
An email signature spares you from having to type a signature manually every time you compose an email. This tutorial explains how to create and automatically add an email signature to your emails in Hotmail.
This tutorial explains how to create a signature, how to customize it, and how to delete it (using in other words a "blank email signature").
Add a signature to Hotmail
To setup and automatic email signature in Windows Live Hotmail, click on the Options menu at the top right corner of the screen: 
then choose the last item, labeled "More options" to load all Hotmail configurable settings.
The Hotmail options screen will open: locate the Personal e-mail signature link listed under Customize your mail.
This will open the Personal e-mail signature screen that lets you create and customize your email signature. The box listed under the "Enter text below to be added to the bottom of each e-mail message you send" message is the text editor that let you format your Hotmail signature in any way you want.
Format your Hotmail signature
Simply type your email signature as you would like it to appear to recipients of your emails. Notice that the signature editor is the same text editor we covered in our email formatting tutorial. Add as many formatting options as you like (e.g. bold, underlined, text color, etc.) Also notice that you can include clickable links inside your signature - you can manually create the link, but Hotmail will automatically convert what it recognizes as an internet address ("URL") into a link.
Using a plain text email signature
The editor you use to create your signature supports rich text formatting, but Hotmail will ultimately decide on the formatting options to display in your signature based on the email format itself: to send an plain-text email (and use a plain text signature), simply click on the Rich text menu, and choose Plain text. This will instruct Hotmail to ignore any formatting information, colors, etc. from your signature, and to instead just display its "text" content.
Test your Hotmail signature by composing a new email
To save the Hotmail email signature you just created, click on the Save button. This will bring you back to the Hotmail options screen we came from. To test your email signature, click on the Go to inbox link to get back to your emails, and click New to compose a new email.
Your email signature has automatically been added to the body of your email. This signature is regular text, which means that if you want not to show this signature on some emails, you can select its text, and hit the Del or Backspace keys to delete the signature text.
Delete or remove your Hotmail email signature
If you end up changing your mind, and no longer want Hotmail to automatically append a signature to your outgoing emails, simply follow the procedure we outlined above: load the Hotmail options and access the email signature settings: once you are in front of the signature editor, simply delete all the text inside the text box, and click Save - this, in effect, saves a "blank email signature", which is Hotmail's default. Behind the scenes, Windows Live Hotmail always insert a signature inside your emails, but since the signature is blank, or an "empty signature" by default, it behaves as though no signature is inserted in your emails.
...And this is how easily you can create an email signature in Hotmail!
