You'd need to put that message into the Subject of the message, which is the only field you can almost guarantee the user will see.

Hello Sue.I'm having the same issue as the previous poster. After reading
your reponse, is there a way to setup the form so a message will appear in
the reading pane that would tell the user to double click on message in order
view the form? Thanks.

Outlook cannot display a custom form in the reading pane. All it can display there is the message body (which is where your signature is coming from) and other "header" properties.

I have created a custom form in Outlook 2003. I got the form to display how
i want in the design mode as well as the reading mode. There is a customized
subject line, and I figured out how to display it in the folder along with
the sender's name. What I can't figure out is how to have the form display
in the preview pane. All that displays in the pane when the form is sent is
my signature at the time of form creation. This form is supposed to be used
by multiple users, so it would be immensely helpful if I could figure out a
way to have the "Reading mode" version of the form display in the preview
pane. Is there a way?
