It certainly is possible to add a signature to an email message. If Word is the editor, it's also easy to remove it, because it's exposed as a Bookmark object. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=615. If Word is not the email editor, the signature is not distinguished in any way from the rest of the text.

Can someone confirm that the Outlook 2003 COM object model does not
provide a way to programmatically get, modify, or remove the signature
line of an email?

Furthermore, it doesn't look like Redemption RDO supports manipulating
the signature line either (http://www.google.com/search?q=signature

%2F&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-
USfficial&client=firefox-a).

I've noticed that a SafeMailItem will contain the signature line as
long as I don't modify the Body property. Has anyone else noticed
that?

Thanks,
Jeff
