When I reply to or forward a message my signature font is totally different
what appears when I make a new message yet the signature assigned is the
exact same signature. What am I missing or is it not possible?

Outlook always uses the format of the original message when replying or
forwarding. That format is different than the one you used when you created
the signature.

While it is true that Outlook always uses the format of the original message
- this just means plain text, RTF or HTML. Your own setting will determine
the font for the body of the message. Finally, after much playing around I
have discovered the trick to ensuring your font choices are maintained
separately for your signatures.

Look for your signature folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures

(you may also have one under ...\Microsoft\Outlook but not sure when or if
this is still used - doesn't seem to be under my installation - Office 2003).

Make sure you have a copy of each signature in each possible format:
signature.rtf
signature.html
signature.txt

Emails in a format other than the format for which you have saved your
signature will default to the fonts/colors of the email (or so it would seem
from the behaviour).

Hope this helps!
