1. Adding signature corrupts the email:

If you are writing an email and have your default message format set to
Plain Text emails only, click a new message.

Start typing your message and then think, oh I need my signature adding.

Select from the Ribbon, Signature/Drop down/X

You'd expect it to insert it at the current point. Sometimes it does that,
but sometimes it puts it at the beginning, overwriting the message you've
typed.

2. Email window position

This is more tricky to repro. I have 2 monitors on Vista. Extended
desktop, primary on right, extended on left.

Outlook gets confused when opening an email to view it after a sleep/wake
cycle.

Despite the primary Outlook window being on my extended display, viewing an
email appears to the LEFT of my primary display. I.e. on a screen area that
doesn't exist.

Have to close and re-start Outlook to fix the issue.

OS=Vista SP1.

on #1 - it sounds like you are typing in the sig field - so when you change
the sig, it erases the text you type.

I'm typing in the message area - the huge white area under subject, where
one normally types the words.

I call that the message content.

except part of that huge white area is the sig field - about 2 lines below
the message area. Right click on it - do you see a list of signatures or
normal options like copy and paste?
