[rt-users] about signatures

You can use RT templates to add custom signatures to outgoing mail.  The
template can read details for the user generating the mail, and output them
in any manner that you wish.

First, you would need to ensure that the necessary information is entered
into each user's account (Admin > Users > Select).

Second, you would need to create a template (or modify an existing one) to
call on various elements like:

{ $Transaction->CreatorObj->Name }
{ $Transaction->CreatorObj->WorkPhone }

You might want to include logic to omit the fields (and possibly log an
error to RT's log) if they are empty for a particular user.

Other methods on the CreatorObj are available here:

I don't have an easy answer for moving the quoted text beneath the
signature.  As a desperate measure, your template could try to detect the
beginning of quoted text and truncate all content after it.  There might be
a big risk of truncating actual non-quoted content though.
