Greets,
After spending about 2 days searching in this and other forums for a
solution, I'm stumped. I've got 2 separate email accounts set up, one
personal and one business. I do not want a signature for personal mail, but
I've created one for business. The personal account is set up as the
default account and must remain that way.
When I create a new mail message, and select my business account, the
default signature does not appear. I have set this up both in OL and Word.
The ONLY way to get the "insert|signature" menu option is to disable Word as
my editor, again not an option for me.
Now the weird part: IF I create a signature for my default (personal)
account, THEN choose the business account from within the new message
window, OL will then display the signature for my business account. IF I
remove the signature for the default (personal account) and repeat the
process, the business account will not show a signature. IF I make my
business account the default account, the signature appears just fine
(however, this is also not an option for me.)
So it appears that if I want no sig for my (default) personal account, want
a sig for my business account, and want to use Word as my editor, I'm hosed
unless I create a sig for the personal account. I tried doing this with
just a blank space, but OL is too "smart" for that
As an I.T.
consultant, I'm embarrassed that I can not solve this. I know that OL 2003
is supposed to be "all that" for handling multiple accounts with multiple
signatures, but I'll be damned if I can make it work.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Bill
