Signature and text format query

A

Alan S

I have created a signature which inserts automatically when I click New,
Reply or Forward in Outlook.
But when right clicking a file and selecting Send To, Mail Recipient it
opens a new untitled message in Plain Text with a signature/footnote ("The
message is ready to be sent...). How can I have that message open up in HTML
format instead?
Also, how can I set it up so that my own signature that I have created
automatically appears when the untitled message opens up (instead of having
to insert it manually afterwards)?
The same question applies when I have an open file (eg: a Word document) and
click File, Send To, Mail Recipient (As Attachment) (for 2003) or Office
Button, Send, Mail (for 2007). Albeit that the untitled message opens up in
HTML format this time around, no signature appears and I have to insert it
manually.

You can't. The Send To method uses a simpler programming interface than a
normal instance of Outlook and what you would like is not available to that
interface. No program creating a message using that interface can get at the
features you want.
