I am trying to remove a signature but under 'mail format' signature is
'grayed out'. My message format is html. Any ideas on what is wrong? thanks
in advance.
 
no editor. I have disabled my digitalID and encryption and still the
signature is grayed out. thanks for your response.

Do you have an email account created? Is Outlook 2003 activated?

Signatures are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\Microsoft\Signatures - you can delete them from that folder if it's not
working in Outlook.

Diane thanks for responding. This is my home email account which has been
installed and active for 5 to 6 years. my signuares are stored in
c:\documents and settings\myname\application data\micrsoft\signatures. After
deleting the spamfiltersol.rtf ( which is what I wanted deleted), I closed
and reopened outlook and open tools menu - options - mail format and
signatures is "still" grayed out. Is it possible that I need to delete
settings in the registry?. thanks again.

Uncheck the option to use Word as the editor.

Milly, thanks for responding. I have already done it with no results. I
think it is a registry entry somewhere that needs to be delete. yes or no?

thanks
