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.
