I have created signatures for all my email accounts (I have three). When using Apple's mail app, if I create a new message, the signature appears. I can also select other signatures from my list. However, when I am replying to a message, I cannot get any of the selected signatures to appear. Am I missing a setting, or something?

Yes, this is usually related to Mail → Settings → Signatures → “Choose Signature” behavior for each account.
In Apple Mail, replies can be set to use:
Check each account and make sure it’s not set to “None” or something different for replies.
Also worth noting — Apple Mail signatures can behave inconsistently across accounts and reply chains. Some people avoid this by creating a single HTML signature in tools like MySignature and pasting it into Mail, since it keeps formatting and makes it easier to reuse across accounts and devices.

Thanks for replying. I read your suggestion to mean 'if there is a box to check, check it. 'Place signature above quoted text' is the only option I have running Tahoe 26.2. So I selected it. Now they work. I didn't realize the entire message I was replying to was added at the bottom of my reply as quoted text. Who knew?
If you go back to where you made the signatures, you'll see options to select.
At replies, at forwarding etc. Hope that helps.
