257824 OL2000: Differences Between Outlook and Outlook Express



SYMPTOMS
If you have multiple accounts configured in Outlook Express 5 and each account has a separate associated signature, the signature does not change to the appropriate signature when you compose a message and select another account.



RESOLUTION
If you have multiple signatures and you want to be able to select a specific signature for each account:
 * 1) In Outlook Express, click Options on the Tools menu.
 * 2) Click the Signatures tab.
 * 3) Click to clear the Add signatures to all outgoing messages check box.
 * 4) Click Apply, and then click OK.

When you compose a message and you want to add your signature, click Signature on the Insert menu, and then click the signature you want to use.

NOTE: Click within the body of the e-mail message to make the signature option available.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
