if you are writing a new message then you can select the signature but if you
reply a message you can not.

I don't know how to solve your problem. I can only tell you that I can
choose signatures on BOTH reply and forward emails.

Are these newly created signatures or imported?

The problem is that multi-line signatures do not transfer and need to be
recreated.
Your signatures are single line.

msenoz, your experience with the missing signatures when replying or forwarding is not normal.

Whilst it has been experienced by a few posters, the vast majority have no such problems. I can assure you that on all my systems (XP, Vista, 7 Beta - all 32bit) with the latest version of WLMail, the 'Insert Signature' button works as expected (see screenshots*), whether I insert signatures manually, or automatically.

MrsSCRumpler62 needs to provide us with more information for me to be sure of the problem, but I am fairly sure that her symptom is due to corrupt signatures in the registry. As Ron implied in his post below, corruption of multi-line WLMail text based signatures occurs when they are imported into the registry under certain circumstances**.

Corruption of a WLMail text-based signature would crash WLMmail in earlier versions of WLMail, but the current version solves this by ignoring the corrupt signature permanently. Such a signature is removed from the 'Signatures' tab in Options, but may remain in the list for the 'Insert Signature' button.

Thus, my recommendation for MrsSCRumpler62, had she provided more information, would probably be to delete the Registry Key that holds the signatures for WLMail. Upon restarting WLMail and creating a new signature, the 'signatures' Registry Key would be re-created.
This Registry Key is at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\signatures

Obviously one would have to re-create any WLMail text based signatures via the 'Signatures' tab in Options.

Now, your symptoms appear to be somewhat different than MrsSCRumpler62's, but they may well be due to the way WLMail deals with corrupted signatures.

What I suggest you try, is to *rename* the 'signatures' Registry Key to "signatures (old)", then restart WLMail and recreate your signatures. If you can access your text based signatures in the 'Signatures' tab in Options, you could copy them to a text file (Notepad) for backup (you can actually point to a text file to create a signature in WLMail).

If proper function is restored, you might like to compare the old signatures to the new ones in the Registry.

*Screenshots:

**Basically, if you import a multi-line WLMail text signature into the registry (where the signature does not already exist), using a .reg file (double-click, or File->Import... in Regedit, or via a backup program), the Value 'text' is not imported into the 'signatures' sub-key '000...'
