Multiuple signatures on multiple accounts

Hi all

I'm trying to setup different signatures for multiple different accounts.

I've setup 10 accounts and 10 signature files

However when I start a new message it puts in the signature from the default
account.

If I then straight away change the "From" account......The signature does
NOT change ?

Surely if you can set different signatures for different accounts on the
signatures tab in the tools menu ...... then these should be used when the
appropriate 'From' account is changed ?? Otherswise what is the point in
setting them up ??

Thanks in advance

Eh? Just an observation... It took a while but I managed to setup a few a
while back. They don't change. If you're sitting on the default account when
you click new mail it adds the signature from the default account. If, for
instance, I'm sitting on the and click new mail it
includes that signature instead of the default.

IMHO, I think you will have better results if you don't use the option to
Add signature to all outgoing messages. Put the Insert button on the toolbar
and it should put the correct one in when you click on it since you are now
in the correct account.

Thanks for your reply

I'm using Outlook Express 6 and am not sure how you choose the account
BEFORE you click new message ?

Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion. This does work but it it a bit of a shame it
does not do it automatically as you have already associated signatures with
accounts. Bring on OE7 !

I don't believe there is any other way around the problem other than having
the 10 accounts in 10 different identities.

There never will be an OE7. Its replacement is Windows Mail, but will only
be in the new OS, Windows Vista.

Windows Live Mail Desktop will be available for XP at some time, but I don't
think many people will jump for joy over it.

The ONLY way would be to change which account is default before starting the
message.

Would 'full' Outlook give better options in this area ?

Thanks
