Greetings all,
I would like to have outlook 2003 auto insert one of two
signatures (html, or rtf format) based on the format of the e-mail we
are replying to. The client machines are set up to reply to an email
in the format in which it was sent, and we have html auto signatures
set up, so when users reply to an email in rtf the signature looses
its formatting. We do not want to make users manually select a
signature each time they reply to an email. Does anyone have any
suggestions on ways to do this? any macro/third party plugins/ or
other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
-Ryan
 
Hi Ryan,

for OL 2000 you find the setting for the signature under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\[YourProfileName]\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046

the filename for the signature is stored in the key: 001e0361.

The files are stored in:

C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\Signatures

First you need to save both signatures in different named files.

That´s the easy part :-)

Now you should be able to track *each* selected MailItem, the user maybe
could answer/reply to.

For each MailItem you need to handle the Forward and Reply events. In
this events you need to identify the original format and set the
appropriate registry setting.

If the user has finished his reply or forward it would be a good idea to
reset the settings.
 
Hi Ryan,

I just read you thread on Sue´s site...

I didn´t know that OL creates every sig in each format, so simply ignore
my former posting :-)
