Yet, the option states 'add signatures to all outgoing messages' and an
option is presented to NOT include it on replies and forwards. Seems like a
paradox to me. These same options were also presented in older versions of
OE and they didn't work there either. I still think it is something MS may
have intended to implement, but either didn't, for whatever reason, or it
never worked.
Whatever, it is what it is and I'm am burying this dead horse.
