Yes, there is a solution I just found. Do exactly the following: - Go to any computer with Microsoft Outlook.
- Create a signature in Microsoft Outlook. Write your signature, edit the fonts, sizes, etc.

- Make sure the font and font size is the same as the one you set in Mail as your default font.(example: Arial 12) - Save it, and send an email from Outlook with this signature to yourself (the computer where you use Mail) - Once you've received this email in Mail, select and 'copy' the signature - Go to Mail, and create a new signature - Paste the signature (the one you sent to yourself from Outlook) - Make sure that 'Use the same message format as the original message.' Is unchecked!! Now try to send an email with this signature, open the email in any mail client like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc. And now the signature should have the same size as the text. Warning: whenever you want to modify your signature, you have to re-do this entire process. Let's say you want to put a word in Bold in Mail Signature, do not do it, it will screw up everything again. So make sure when you edit your signature in Outlook that it is complete and properly edited.
I know it's not easy, but Apple seems unwilling to solve that MAJOR issue. Yes / No Using the formatting available via the UI will only set the font size to; small, medium, large, etc.
Rather than 8pt, 10pt, 14pt. Because of that the App you via the email in then has to make a decision on what size they call medium is.
Furthermore once they've done that it may decide to hardcode that style. Example: You wanted 12pt, Apple Mail set it to medium.
You send an email to a friend, they read it on Gmail. Gmail sets the font to 14pt. Your friend replies to you. You see your signature as 14pt text because Gmail inlined that style when it sent the message back to you.
The only way to avoid this is to create an HTML signature wherein you are essentially doing exactly what the apps do however its at a tigheter scope so they can't override it. Here's a guide on how to do it You can argue that these apps shouldn't do that however there are other considerations that come into play as to why they make the choice to use medium rather than a specific pt size. One of them is for meeting 508 accessibility requirements. I finally found the solution to the problem, after several failed attempts, this steps really worked: 1. Create a new signature 2.
Send out a test email and you should see the problem 3. Go to preference, then fonts and colours, under message font, choose a font size that you're not going to use, say 36 4. Go back to the signature that you just created, you should see that the font of the signature was automatically changed to 36 too.now select the signature texts, right click and choose font->show fonts, then change the font size to your desired size, say 13 5.
Send out a test email and the font size of the email content should be 36 while the font size of signature should be 13 6. Go to the preference again and change the message font to your desired font size, say 13 as to be the same as signature 7. Send out a test email again and now you should see that everything is working perfectly! By the way, do not check the box 'always match my default message font' This is not my solution, it's gilbertlau's in. Here's another method of solving the big signature problem that I believe will simply ensure that the signature is rendered in the same font and size as the body of the email. Unless you manually format the body of the email, it will still be displayed in the default font of the recipient's mail client.
Follow the method here:. Best email clients for mac. However, for the code in step #2, just use: signature line 1 signature line 2 Obviously replace 'signature line #' with whatever you want and use as many or as few lines as you want.
