Error with signature in email - wingdings!

[Marlene.Sawhney]

Hello Everyone,

I am using the Ron de Bruin "Insert Outlook Signature in mail" code.
However, when the signature is produced in outlook is looks like
this:

ÐÏ à¡± á

It looks like the wingding font. Does anyone have a clue as to why
this is happening? I'm sure there is an easy explanation but I'm just
not getting...any help would be great!!

Here is the code...

Function GetBoiler(ByVal sFile As String) As String
'Dick Kusleika
Dim fso As Object
Dim ts As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.GetFile(sFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
GetBoiler = ts.readall
ts.Close
End Function


Sub Mail_Outlook_With_Signature_Plain()
' Don't forget to copy the function GetBoiler in the module.
' Working in Office 2000-2007
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String
Dim SigString As String
Dim Signature As String

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

strbody = "Hi there"

SigString = "C:\Documents and Settings\msawhney\Application Data
\Microsoft\Signatures\John.doc"

If Dir(SigString) <> "" Then
Signature = GetBoiler(SigString)
Else
Signature = "no"
End If

On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.Body = strbody & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & Signature
'You can add files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Display 'or use .Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0

Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Your GetBoiler function expects a plain text file... based on the extension
of the file you are showing (John.doc) you are likely passing it a Word
document ... of course it could be a text file with any extension, but
likely that is your problem.

Thank you! I changed it to txt...which worked, but it didn't keep the
bold/italics that I wanted. Is there a way to do that?

Thank you!
