Changing the Sending Account of a Message

[Steve Lee-Woolf]

With my previous EMail client, if I decided to change the account from which
the Mail I was currently writing I could do this on the fly (and indeed I can
with Outlook as well).

However, my previous mailer, after changing the account, then automatically
changed the signature to the text allocated to the new sending account. I
can't make Outlook do this - if I change the account, the message retains the
signature that was associated with the original account.

Can this be achieved easily with Outlook? This is feature is very important
to me and, if Outlook can't do it, I shall have to stick with my previous
mailer.

Thanks

You can with Outlook 2003 with Word as your email editor. Since you did
not post your version or editor, I cannot say if this will work for you.

Sorry Milly, I should have been more specific. I am running Outlook 2003 on a
machine running Windows XP sp2. I do not use Word as my Editor (mainly
because I generally use plain text messages and the overhead of having Word
loaded as well as Outlook is just too great.

There is no additional overhead using Word as the editor and this is the
only method that you can use to have per account signatures.
