account A disappears, allowing me to choose an independent sig for B or
C.
*All 3 accounts* allow me to choose an individual signature for *new
messages*.
What you are saying is correct for account A, because when I click New>Mail
message, that is what I get - a new mail in account A with sig A.
But what is the point of Outlook letting me choose a signature for NEW
messages for accounts B and C, when there is no way whatsoever to create
a
new message with acocunt B or C?
I hope that is clear now. Either I'm missing something and there is a way,
or it's an extremely misleading and pointless option. :-S

It does not mean that Outlook can figure out in advance
which signature to place when you have multiple mail accounts but haven't
designated which one you are going to use. When you have designated the
account in advance of starting the new message window (as would be the
case
when you have only one account, or when you are replying to a message),
the
signature that is placed will be the correct one for the specified
account.

Guys, in order to clarify what I mean, I have uploaded the Options
page I
referred to, to:
http://tinyurl.com/6tzqh
As you can now see, Outlook 2003 seems to allow what you are saying would
require clairvoyance, which leaves me as confused by your posts as you
are
by mine.
I have 3 e-mail accounts. The highlighted box shows one of them
selected.
For each account I can choose:
"Signature for new messages"
"Signature for replies and forwards"
Would you please explain to me why the "Signature for new messages"
option
exists, if it cannot be used?
Using Word as the e-mail editor makes no difference as these options are
not
greyed out when Wordmail is turned off. This means they should work when
Wordmail is not on.
The point is, they are there for a reason - I just can't get them to
work.

wrote in message Ah, I see now - it was rather confusing. However, he can still select
the
signature once he selects the sending account using the Accounts
button.
I
guess I am not understanding why actually having to *select* some
options/actions is such a hard thing to do.
