Does current OE imply that there was another OE?
What type of signatures are they? Plain text or html?
If plain text, they must be multi line or they could just be retyped.

It may be easier to just copy the signatures from old sent emails.

They are in the registry. What did you do so that you need to recover
them?

1.. Close OE and then In Regedit, navigate to this key:

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Identities
|--------{GUID}
|-----------Software
|--------------Microsoft
|-----------------Outlook Express
|--------------------5.0

where GUID is the Global Unique IDentifier for your Identity.

2.. Under that key, you will find the following sub-keys, among
others:

|-----------------------Block Senders
|-----------------------Rules
|-----------------------Signatures

Did you backup the registry prior to whatever you did?
