Signatures in Entourage

[John Glennie]

It is a pain having to select different signatures for different people or
categories. Is there a way that I can allocate a particular signature to an
individual in my Address Book and/or to a Category? I would have vastly
different signature blocks for close friends, family, business contacts,
sporting associates, etc.

If not, if anyone from Microsoft reads these, is it something that could be
considered for future enhancements?

I suppose something along these lines might be achieved via AppleScript, but
I don't know enough about scripting to make an authoritative statement on
it. However, since you feel this could be a useful enhancement, why not send
your suggestion to Microsoft (Help>Send Feedback on Entourage)?

It¹s convoluted and would be a pain if you have dozens of signatures, but
why not set up different accounts with the same server info? Then you can
simply change accounts when you get email from certain people and attach a
special signature to each account.

I have three that are set up that way. It¹s no problem as long as you let
only one be included in the scheduled send/receive.

Hi John!

I recently posted a couple of tricks for setting signatures depending on
the recipient. You should be able to devise something to meet your needs
based on what I posted here
<http://groups.google.com/group/micr...tourage/browse_thread/thread/faee40a893340cd2>

Keep in mind that this will work for POP or IMAP accounts but not Exchange.

Hope this helps!

You can use a third party product to insert sigs. See
