- Message Vault by ComAxis is a Windows 9x/2k utility for archiving and accessing email messages.

Signatures:
- EmailEffects allows easy creation of ASCII signatures.
- ESig97 works with most Internet e-mail clients that use an ascii/text file for the signature.
- KookieJar by General Frenetics. Kookie Jar is a Windows 95/98 application that generates signatures which you may use with your favorite email or news program. Signatures typically include a random quote, or tagline, chosen from a file that you specify (samples are included in program distribution). However, the program will work fine without random quotes, too. Apart from the optional random quote, the program can place many other pieces of information in your signature. To define the layout of your signature and tell the program what to include in it, you create a special template (sample included). Please see below for details - KookieJar is very flexible and configurable!
- Pick-a-Tag by J. van Baarsel "randomly picks a tagline out of a list of taglines. It will create a signature file which your mailer can use to place under your messages."
- RandomSig by Narsil Software
- Random Tagline Manager by Frank Brower
- SchizoSigz! is an e-mail signature generator for any e-mail program that utilizes ASCII based signature files. SchizoSigz! takes a header file, footer file, and a file filled with quotes, taglines, or whatever, and generates an e-mail signature file at a specified interval. SchizoSigz! runs from the Windows 95/NT task bar and creates the signature file as necessary.
- SignatureMaster is compatible with Netscape, Eudora, Pegasus, Agent, MS Internet Mail, News Xpress, Outlook or any other application that reads a Signature from a text-based Signature file.
