Default separate signatures for different accounts



Changing the signature only works if you have set Word to be the email
editor. If your sig is removed, Word should be your email editor. Are you
sure you have a sig defined for the account (new mail, or reply-forward)?

Seems siple enough, having two email accounts, eack having a differnt
signature, and different sender email address, but you cant configure
Outlook to do this!@#$


under tools-options-mail format-signatures, you can create multiple
signatures, but you cant assign them to different email accounts. They
all go to the default account specificed in the right hand side of
this config form.


So now, when you create an enw email, its gets the default sig. You
can change the account using hte account button, but then the sig
dissapears. Why cant each sig be associated to a separate account?

maybe thats what Microsfot thought, but it doesnt work! There are
heaps of posts on numerous forums of the difficulty in Outlook
handling multiple signatures.

The problem is that when you create a new message, it adds the default
signature. You can then use the account button to change which account
is used to send it, which changes the sender and return email address,
but it also clears the signature, so now you have to manually add the
correct signature. So sending is now a multiple click affair with a
concious thought process to make sure its going out with the right
sender details.

I have found one commercial add-in called Split Personalities, but
thats pretty clunky. Anyone else found a suitable add-in, or do I need
to write my own?

Cheers
