Outlook screws up signature on replies and forwards?

P

Ploobers

I have our company signatures set up so that they are inserted into an
html table, complete with company logo and contact info. I built the
html file from scratch (see bottom of the post for code) and it works
fine in a browser. I never used the Outlook or Word editor to change
the html after creating my Outlook signature. I'm using Outlook 2003
with Word 2003 as the email editor.

When I compose a new message with my signature, it formats everything
correctly. (I've included a snippet of the bad code). When replying
or forwarding, the signature shows up correctly in the editor, but when
sending, it formats it incorrectly. It somehow moves a row break to a
completely different section of the code. Why would a reply format a
signature differently than a new email? How do I fix this problem?
