Signature won't display in new message

P

Paul

Hi,
I have created a signature for use in one out of about 6 e-mail accounts
which I use through Outlook 2003. I want it to insert automatically when I
create a new message in that account and when replying to messages through
that account. All is set up fine in Tools/options/mail format.
It works fine when replying to e-mail through that account, but it will not
insert the signature for new mail through that account.
My default e-mail account is a different account, so when I create a new
e-mail message I have to manually change the account so that the message goes
through the required account. I expected Oulook to insert the signature when
I switched the account to the required account in the new message.
Anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you've got Word set as your e-mail editor.

And that you have an automatic signature set up for every account.
