Problem you are trying to solve

I keep a synchronized folder which contains my HTML email signatures, enabling me to have the same signature on Thunderbird on my laptop and desktop, but there is currently no app that will do the same on Android.

Suggested solution

Add an option to select a file when setting a signature for an identity, and when composing a new email, load from that file each time.

Research direction

Start by tracing how signatures are configured for an identity and how the Android composer loads a signature when a new email is created. Review the existing identity-signature flow and determine how a user-selected file could be read each time. Done means an HTML signature file can be selected for an identity and is loaded when composing on Android.
