Windows 10: Signature in Mail for Windows 10 only allowing text

I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Mail for Windows 10 to try to resolve a separate issue. When I added my account and and tried to set up the signature I used previously - which had some coloured text and icons - the app will only allow basic text with no option to format. Any help appreciated.

Where is HTML signature in Windows 10 Mail

On Microsoft's Windows 10 help site, the instructions to add signatures are as follows:

Change Windows Mail signature settings

You can use the Signatures tab in the Windows Mail Options dialog box to create and modify custom signatures for your messages. Signatures can contain your name, e‑mail address, phone number, and any other information that you want to include at the bottom
of your e‑mail messages. To access the Signatures tab:

• 
  Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button, clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.
  
• 
  Click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Signatures tab.
  

Show all
Create
a signature

To create a signature:

• 
  Under Signatures, click New.
  
• 
  Under Edit Signature, do one of the following:
  
  • 
    In the Text box, type your signature.
    
  • 
    Click File, click Browse, click the text or HTML file that contains your signature, and then click Open.
    
• 
  Click OK.
  

Tip

• 
  If you want to create a signature containing custom fonts or graphics, design the signature using a word processor or HTML editor and save it as an HTML file. Then follow the steps above to select that file as a signature.
  

I can't find the button to add an HTML file in the signature options — where is it ?

Windows 10 Mail Signature personalization

Hello,

The Signature tab on your Windows 10 Mail app lets you create and modify signatures for your messages. As of the moment, the Windows 10 Mail app only supports plain text as part of your signature. There is no option yet to add images or pictures on it.

In the meantime, we suggest that you continue using the Outlook client or its web-based email. This will allow you to maximize the messaging features so you can add your desired logo.

Feel free to write again should you have further concerns.
