Formatting of mail body and accessing mail signature

[Senapathy]

Hello,

I am using Outlook 2003.

I have an add-in to compose mails on clicking a taskbar button. Everything
is fine, but I want to beautify some things in the mail.

1) There are a few data in my mail body that I would like to make bold and
give different color. For e.g. a Due Date.
All I am currently doing is: mailItem.Body = "Some text.. blah blah..."
How to set a particular part of the body string alone as bold and with
different color?
I am having RichText as the mail format.

2) I have a mail signature set in my Outlook. At the end of the mail body, I
would like this signature to appear.
From where can I access the signature string? I checked the Application
object, but this doesn't have any property like signature. A search for
'signature' gives only pointers to digital signatures for encryption.

Thanks for any help!

Regards,
Sena

Redemption SafeInspector methods are the easiest to implement.
