Can Office '03 auto detect incoming mail formats?

[Ant]

I know that Outlook takes on the format of received messages when it comes to
replying to or forwarding themessage, so I setup a rich-text signature and an
html signature to use as needed.

My question is this- "Is there a way for Outlook to detect the format of a
received message and select the signature with the same format?"

Already happens. It's built in.

that is how it works normally. are you trying to use 2 totally different
sigs for each format or one sig converted to rtf and html?

Its the same sig- but one is converted to rtf and one as html. I named one
"html" and one "rtf" though so that I distinguish between the 2.

When you create a sig in Outlook, it automatically creates 3 - 1 in each
format - and it uses the sig that matches the message format. If you want
to use a special sig, create 2 sigs then change out sig1's html with your
file and sig'2 rtf with your rtf file then choose the sig you want to use.
