The signature is also inserted if you touch the MailItem.GetInspector
property for the brand new messages with unmodified body. You do not need to
actually display the message. This is probably the easiest way to insert the
signature if you do not want to display the item first

It does, if (a) the user has an automatic signature set up and (b) you call
MailItem.Display first

Email signature using Outlook COM object model
Can someone confirm that the Outlook 2003 COM object model does no
provide a way to programmatically get, modify, or remove the signatur
line of an email
Furthermore, it doesn't look like Redemption RDO supports manipulatin
the signature line either (

I've noticed that a SafeMailItem will contain the signature line a
long as I don't modify the Body property. Has anyone else notice
that
Thanks

It certainly is possible to add a signature to an email message. If Word
is the editor, it's also easy to remove it, because it's exposed as a
Bookmark object. See

email editor, the signature is not distinguished in any way from the
rest of the text.=2

I did not see the text of the signature in the value of the Bod
property of Redemption's SafeMailItem, as one might expect. Based o
that test, also I assume that the signature would not appear i
RDO.RDOMail.Body, .HTMLBody, .RTFBody either, but I didn't take th
time to test those. I didn't see a ".Signature" property or equivalen
in Outlook COM, Redemption Safe* items, or Redemption RDO objects. A
I missing something
In my install of Outlook 2003 (Word as Editor, HTML format b
default) the signature line is getting added as long as I don'
manipulate the SafeMailItem.Body property. Is that expected
Thanks

There is no Signature property.
There is no Signature property. The operations I describe do not depend
on there being one.=2
It might help if you showed some code. Without that, we have no way of
knowing in what order you're performing operations, etc. If you
overwrite the Body property, for example, any signature that already
exists is going to be replaced by your new Body text.=2

You've provided some great ideas on how to work w/ the signature, and
I appreciate them. I'm just trying to focus in on what the Outlook COM
object model alone provides.
For a new email, if setting MailItem.Body erases the signature line of
an email, then one would hope that getting MailItem.Body prior to
setting it would retrieve the signature line of an email.
It'd be nice to be able to do something like this:
pseudocode snippet:
//create a new mail item
MailItem m = folder.Item.Add(OlItemType.olMailItem);
//store off the signature line (if the user has the option on):
String sig = m.Body;
//set Body to be my email content plus whatever the signature line is
m.Body = "my email content" + sig;
Contrary to how I'd like MailItem.Body to work, getting it prior to
setting it returns nothing (even if there is a signature line), and
setting it to something removes the signature line. I see no way to
set the Body of the email to my email content while at the same time
maintaining whatever signature line the user specified to appear in
new emails by default.
Thanks for your patience.
