Go to the folder where Photoshop Elements is installed. Usually this is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements X.0 (where X is the version number)
From there drill down through the folders to:
shared_assets\locales\en_us\email\signatures
Here you will find several read-only text files. You may want to make a backup copy of each file before you modify it, in case you decide later that you want the original text back. To do this, use the right mouse button to drag and drop the file in the same folder window and choose "Copy Here" from the popup menu. The file will be duplicated with "Copy of" appended to the original file name.
Before we can modify the original files, we need to change the file attributes so they are not read only. Highlight them all in your file explorer, and go to File > Properties. Uncheck the read-only option and click OK.
The file "standard_subject.txt" contains the text "You have received photos from Adobe Photoshop Elements" and is used as the subject line when sending Photo Mail (HTML) or individual attachments. Change this to anything you like. I have changed it to "Photos from Sue."
The file "standard.txt" contains the text "These photos were sent from Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) Elements 3.0. (etc.)" and is used as the footer line when sending Photo Mail (HTML) or individual attachments. You can clear the text or change it to a custom signature.
The other files are:
short_subject.txt - This is the subject line used for the "Email to mobile phone" option.
mobile.txt - This is the footer used for the "Email to mobile phone" option.
pdf.txt - This is the footer used when you choose "Simple Slide Show (PDF)" for the email sending format.
