I have already been to "composing and sending". I have app set to rich text. There are two checkable boxes, but both are already checked and whited out so that I am unable to click on them.
To define a signature go to the Account-specific settings:
-> long press on account name -> Options and folders -> Composing and sending ->
tap on 'Signature' -> enter your signature text (to add images and/or hyperlinks: tap on the bar "Switch to rich text")
-> see screenshots for details
