Sig generator

[Tony Sutton]

I use Pick-A-Tag (http://home.wanadoo.nl/jeroen/software.html) to pick a
random sig for my e-mail in Outlook Express.

But I can't find a way to do it with Outlook XP.

Is there a way? perhaps using another program? If so, what?

Many thanks.

I don't know how that generator works - but I can tell you how outlook works
The sigs are stored in a folder called signature somewhere under
C:\Documents and Settings\username\. There are three files, one RTF, HTML
and plain text and used on the messages of that format. When you create a
sig in Outlook's signature wizard these three files are created. To change
them, you need to change each file.

When I used a tagline generator, I needed all of it's sig files in the
signature folder and told outlook to use the text file the generator updated
as my sig. Because it only updated the text file, I could only add a random
tagline to plain text messages. if your program writes to text and html, you
can use it on both formats, otherwise you can only automatically change it
on plain text messages.

Perfect, many thanks.

Will try it.
