Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / August 2006personal signature multiple accounts
outlook express on tools/options/signatures i may define multiple signatures [text pieces], and assign each signature to some of accounts but, only the signature assotiated with *default* account is used whn creating new mail! afer changing the account to some other, inserted signature still stays there! i should expect that, after changing accaunt, signature will also change., or is it possible, while creating new mail message define [on the fly] from which account, so to allow oe to insert proper signature immidiately? any hints? thnx Sure. Two simple things to do. In OE, Tools/Options/Signatures, uncheck the "Add Signatures to all outgoing....." and then on a Compose Message window, add a button for Signature (Insert Signature) by right clicking the Toolbar and select Customize. Now when you compose a message, click on the arrow to the right of the "Insert Signature" button and choose the signature you wish to use for that message.

So the method I outlined is a simple way to work around it, but it's your choice: use it, or continue to be frustrated by the lack of simple tools to customize Outlook Express.

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> > any hints? > >> > thnx Might want to look at OETool from http://www.oehelp.com/OETool/Default.aspx although it will not help with what you have in mind, but is instead a very handy utility that almost any Outlook Express user can benefit from having. The signatures for some strange reason are keyed to specific identities within the registry and without doing some modifications to the registry (not a simple thing to do on the fly) can't be changed.

I have several signatures that are HTML files. If I compose a text message, I can insert a text signature. If I compose a HTML, I have a header and a footer setup in HTML. You could put each account in a separate Identity. You can create shortcuts to each Identity.
