Outlook 2003 signatures

[Stan]

I am having a problem with signatures in Outlook 2003. I
have two different signatures for two different mail
accounts. I specify the same signature for reply/forward as
I do for new message for each account. Things work fine
with reply/forward (I get the appropriate signature
automatically). When I compose a new message, however, I
automatically get the signature that was defined for my
DEFAULT mail account, regardless of from which account I am
sending my email. I can always add the appropriate
signature manually, but that is a pain.

This seems like a bug; anybody run into this and have a
solution?

Did you assign a signature for each account? Are you using Word as the
message editor?

Thanks for your response.

I assigned a different signature for each of my two mail
accounts.

In each account I assigned the same signature for new
emails and for reply/forward. For instance:

New Message Reply/Forward

Home Account Home Signature Home Signature
Work Account Work Signature Work Signature

With these settings, when I reply or forward, the correct
signature comes up (for whatever account I am sending the
mail from). However, when I compose a new message from
either account, the signature from the DEFAULT mail account
is used (if the default is Home, then Home Signature
appears whether I am sending from Home account or Work
Account).
