MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / June 2007Using different Signatures in Multiple e-mail accounts
Hello, I have 3 differnt e-mail accounts that I have set up in MS Outlook 2003. I created a different signature to go with each account. When I reply to a message in that particualr account my signatures pop up. But when I create a new message they do not pop up. Outlook always uses my default account when I click the new message button, then I use the accounts button to select which account I send the message from. I have all the setting correct in the Options section. It is set to use the correct signature with the correct account on both new e-mails and replys. Anyone have any advice? KJ This sounds like perfectly normal behavior. For new messages, Outlook doesn't know that you want to use anything other than the default account, until you tell it by changing the account. Once you change the account, the signature will change, assuming you have a default signature and are using Word as the email editor.

I use microsoft word to edit my e-mails so when I go to insert signature I can only use auto text and I have set up my signatures in html. Is there something I need to do to fix this? > This sounds like perfectly normal behavior.

I went to tools then options then mail format and made sure each account has a signature for new messages and replys. If I hit reply to an e-mail my signatures pop up like they are supposed to, but when I click the new mail message button a blank e-mail pops up with no signature. I go to the accounts section on the toolbar and see if any of the other will pop up if I change the account and nothing!

You can always use Insert signature command to change or add the signature. I keep the default acct sig setting to None and select whichever signature I want. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > KJ |
