Signature font flipping out

[Bill S. in Baltimore]

Hi there: This is my first post here so I hope I am doing it right, and not
duplicating an earlier discussion. I searched for this but did not find
anything that quite matches what I'm seeing. I have three signatures defined
in Outlook 2007, one for new messages, one for replies, and a
none-of-the-above version. The first two are set to appear automatically in
new messages and replies (amazingly enough); the third one I insert manually
when needed. All three have the last line in a different font and color. When
I look at them in the Edit Signatures window (buried in the Tools-Options
area) they all look fine, but in actual use 1) the "new-message" version puts
the last line in the same font and color as the remainder of the signature,
and 2) the "none-of-the-above" version puts the first character of the last
line in the same font as the earlier lines, then puts the remaining
characters of the last line in the font I want for the first character (!).
The "reply" version works fine. This happens when switching the signatures
manually using the include-signature link on the Insert tab, both when
opening a new message and replying.

I hope this explanation makes sense. Any help/suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Use SeaMonkey's HTML editor, Composer (it's free from mozilla.org and
you have to download and install the suite as Composer is not a stand
along program), to compose your email sigs, not Outlook or Word. I
fought with Outlook about this until I said, what the hell, what if I
use another HTML editor and, voila, all my fonts are the font I want and
the color I want and don't come back double spaced from a GMail account
or no spaces from a Hotmail account like they did before.
