If you're looking to jazz up you Mail signature, try this:

  1. Ensure you have one signature setup in Mail
  2. Quit Mail
  3. Create a web page in your favorite editor
  4. Open the page in Safari
  5. Save the page as a web archive
  6. Place the web archive in the ~/Library -> Mail -> Signatures directory, renaming it to match the signature you want to replace.
Note: You may have to open the plist file to determine which webarchive maps to your signature name, based on the number of signatures. Have fun!

[robg adds: I haven't tested this one ... just remember to keep your signatures of a reasonable size, and realize that some folks (myself included) may not see your signature due to plain text mail setttings...]
