By Trimming the Email Signature How to Prevent the Gmail Account

Gmail has the habit of trimming the content if it thinks that it is repetitive or it is not relevant to the ongoing conversation. For instance, if we have given reply to an email message, the recipient will only see that what you have written and everything in the thread would stay hidden until they manually click on the 3 dots that says “Show Trimmed Content.”

This will not always work as expected. sometimes Gmail may hide the actual reply if it contains the content which is identical to other messages in the thread. If we attach a signature to our outgoing email messages, the recipients are unlikely to see the signature because Gmail will hide that portion under the ellipsis.

This problem will illustrates the GIF. If we sent an email to a contact and this is how they see it. Only the reply is visible to them but not my email signature.


How to Stop Gmail from Hiding your Signature

If we want our customers and contacts to see our email signature because it has our details like phone number, website address and other contact details but Gmail is likely to conceal that part. But unfortunately, they do not offer an option to opt-out/ disable the trimming.


Gmail will “trims” our signature as it is identical. Gmail will not trim it on the recipient’s screen if you can make your email signature unique for every message.

When you are going to compose a new message in Gmail or if we are replying to an existing thread, click the 3 dots to expand the trimmed content and append some unique text after the  signature. maybe we can add a random number and set it to light-gray so that is almost invisible to the recipient but  manages to trick Gmail to think that is is a “unique” content.

The Gmail Bookmarklet

There is another one-click option which is Gmail Bookmarklet. Add the “Trick Gmail” bookmarklet to our browser bookmarks, while replying to an email thread, just click on bookmarklet. Remember that you have to click on bookmarklet when the compose window is open in Gmail.

Using bookmarklet we can add almost invisible random string to our existing email signature, Gmail would consider that text as unique and therefore hide it on the recipient’s computer.


we are appending the unique message ID, in the Gmail bookmarklet, that is supplied by Gmail itself but you can add any text including current date and time/ even some random quote. More bookmarklets.
