Add signature to calendar meeting request

Hi,

Anyone know how I can (3rd Party tools welcome) add a default signature to
an Outlook meeting request?

Thanks,

Mark

Version? In outlook 2003, try Insert > signature.

Yes, outlook 2003
Does not appear to be an option from a meeting request.

Nope. Not available in meeting requests. I can't imagine why anyone would want one anyway. I'm certainly not going to accept a meeting from someone I don't already know, so what would a signature tell me? Furthermore, the meeting request disappears as soon as I accept the meeting, so it's not like the info would be around long enough to do anything with.

The reason is to include some contact/location information for a dekstop
rollout. Also, doesn't the text of a meeting request stay with the meeting?

You're right, you would see the same text in both. (I think of the meeting request as a cover letter, and appointment as the payload, a point of view caused by a programmer's mindset.)

I'd just copy and paste from a message's signature.

Or, if you do this often, create the request, but save it as an .oft file, so you can reuse it.

Yeah, I was looking at the .oft option. Only problem is, the Calendar from
which the meeting requests are being generated is a "secondary" mailbox that
is configured as part of the primary user's profile. So when the user opens
the .oft file it defaults to their calendar and not the secondary one.
Other than having the user create a separate profile for the "Shared"
mailbox, I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks

I think Diane needs a nap. Missing here too - unless she has a third party
add-in?
