The short answer is, you can't. This has been a long-standing suggestion here in the Canvas Community, and I would invite you to add your feedback to this Feature Idea: Signature Block. You can also star the idea if you want to rate it. Please note this is not the only way that Instructure gets feedback from users on what we'd like to see implemented in Canvas.
Also, I'll just give a brief explanation on your use of the word "emails" in your question. Canvas does not have e-mail. They have a messaging system through the Canvas Inbox. The Canvas Inbox does not operate exactly like regular e-mail in the fact that you cannot send/receive e-mail messages to/from friends/family via the Canvas Inbox because they are not enrolled in the same course(s) that you are.

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
