email signature does not change when I change accounts

[Guest]

I had my email accounts set up with different signatures, and for awhile, the
signatures would change when I changed account. Now, it stays with the
default account signature. Any ideas why, or how I can make it do what it's
supposed to again?

We have no ideas since you decided your version/configuration was a secret.

That feature requires Word as your email editor. Tools | Options | Mail Format

Hi, I am aware one of the replies in this message stated "That feature
requires Word as your email editor. Tools | Options | Mail Format",

However, I have tried many things for hours now and cannot get Outlook to
change the signature when I change the account.

Here's what I want to occur...
Create a New Mail Message>click on accounts(toolbar icon)>change the
account> I want the signature to automatically change as I specified in Tools
| Options | Mail Format | Signatures for each account.

What wrong? any idea? It used to work then when I edited a new HTML
signature and inserted it, I lost the above functionality.
Thanks, Steve Walters, UK.
p.s. if I find an answer I will be sure to post it here.

Two settings are required, both configured in Tools | Options | Mail Format:

1) Word as your email editor
2) An automatic signature set for each account, including your default account

I'm having this problem with my Outlook Express 6 - any suggestions on how to
fix it?

For Outlook Express support, you'll want to ask in the
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general newsgroup.

Since you're also using the web based newsreader rather than outlook
express, you might want to use
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
(or, since you're using Outlook Express for mail, look at the steps in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/newsgroups101.mspx for
how to set up OE to use the microsoft newsgroup server).
