Signature does appear

C

Craig Torell

I am using Outlook 2007 SP2 MSO under XP SP3. If I set up an automatic
signature for my default email account it works fine. If I set one up for a
non-default account it does not appear. Specifically, I set the default email
account to have NO signature, then set up an automatic signature for the
non-default account. Then, I create a new message and choose the non-default
account as the sending account. I am assuming at that point that the
signature should appear. If I cancel the message it asks for a confirmation
(as if I've entered something) even though though there is not text showing.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

You setup and named the 2 sigs, then set the options, in the same window,
for default sig for each mail account?

In order for the sig to appear on all accounts, you need to assign a sig to
each account - then when you change accounts, the sig will change. If you
don't want a sig on the default account, create a blank sig (just two -- at
the top) and use it instead of the (none) option.

I set up and named one signature. I set the default sig for the default mail
account to "None." I set the default sig for my second (non-default) mail
account to the sig I had created. I did this in the same window, and it was
still set up that way when I went back and checked.

The only way I know to create an outgoing email message using the
non-default email account is to click on "New Message" and then select the
second (non-default) email account using the "Account" button under the
"Send" button. I expected that when I selected the second account that the
signature I had set up for that account would automatically be inserted. Is
that incorrect? If so, then how do I get the signature to be automatically
inserted when creating a message from a non-default email account?

Yep, that did it. Thanks!
