The signature won't appear until you display the message, so you would need to use something more like:

myMail.Display
myMail.Body = TextBox1.Text & myMail.Body

Of course, if you want to preserve formatting in HTML and RTF messages, it gets a lot more complicated.

Hi Ken,

I had originally thought that this worked, but I'm afraid it doesn't.

Whether I prepend or append like you suggested, I still end up with no
signature in the new mail. Is there anything I need to import to get
this to work?

e.g. even setting .body = .body produces an email without the
signature. However, when I don't set .Body to anything, the signature
will appear.

I'm running Windows XP SP 2, Visual Studio 2005 and Office 2003. Is it
possible I'm missing something obvious, or is what I'm trying just not
possible?

Thanks in advance.
