Hosting images on dropbox might be an issue. Maybe you should use data url so the signature is "self-hosted".

I really dislike this type of things, I prefer plain text on email, HTML adds bloat to an otherwise small email. The site, and end result, though, looks nice!

If your service becomes known at work (a university) I will have to block it; my users (faculty, that is) will swarm it like bees to a hive. :-)

OMG, you got the username right.

Talk about getting a stomachache from stuff other people eat. But, whatever :-)

Email should be plaintext

You should add a way to generate a plaintext signature that looks nice

it's dash dash space!

Outlook Express had a bug for years where it would correctly add the signature seperator, but then strip whitespace and strip the trailing space.

Usenet used to hate it.
