I create a message, insert a signature and click on which account to use to
send the message. As soon as I select an account the signature gets deleted
(rest of the message remains intact).

If I create the message and select the account to use before inserting the
signature all is fine.

Any idea what is going on?

This happens because of you have apparently set a standard-signature for
only one of your accounts. Set a standard for all your accounts and
everything will be fine ;-)

Below in this dialog box you are able to set the signatures for each

I have not set a standard signature for any of the accounts.

This used to work fine in Outlook 2003 but not in 2007.

Beats me! Either it's by design or it is a bug in OL2007.

Do you have a defined signature for the account you selected after composing the message?

None of the signatures are defined specifically for an account - none of the
accounts have a defined signature. I just pick the one most appropriate to
the message.

Then were using the outlook editor, not word. Set a sig for each email
account and it won't disappear.

I was using whatever the default editor is in Outlook 2007 - it does not
give you the option to use Word.

In Outlook 2007 and you need to set signatures for each account in tools,
options, mail format, signatures as they are per email account and will
change/disappear as you change accounts. If you want the same sig for all
accounts, just choose the same sig from the list.

Hi Diane,

I understand that was the design intention in Outlook 2007. However, to my
dismay, it's not quite working right.

I have two accounts, A and B - I set A to have a default signature, and B
without.

If I open a new message or reply from A account, the functionality works
properly, and the signature appears and disappears if I select account B.

However, if I select a new message in account B, and then switch to account
A, the signature does not appear!

A minor bug, but it's frustrating as I have to insert the signature manually
everytime.

Please help!

Thank you,
Amorphous Zingaro
