You want to start by composing an email like normal, but instead of writing in a normal email, type in the signature you want.  Your signature can use HTML or be in plain text.  HTML can be used in Thunderbird, but it isn’t always supported by other email clients and can end up looking funny for those clients.  For this reason, I recommend to just stick to plain text for your signature.

Now, you will need to click on the Save button on your main toolbar and Save As a File.  Alternatively, you can click on File then Save As from the menu bar at the top.  Make sure you save your signature in a place you’ll remember with a name you’ll remember.

Next, right click on the email address you want the signature to be applied to and click on Properties.

The Account Settings will open up for that email address.  Make sure the Attach this signature check box is checked, then click the on the Choose button and locate your signature to apply it.
