Lee and Aaron,
You know that old saying, "Life's full of little trade-offs"? :) Well,
this additional-signature-for-every-attachment problem is the trade-off
symptom of having the signature pre-placed in the message body, like
Outlook does it, so the user can edit it or change it prior to sending.
With the stock templates, the user never sees his/her signature (except
when they compose it under Account Options). It gets added to the
message body automatically and transparently when Send Message is
clicked.
I'd like to hear from you guys, and the list, which method you prefer.
For myself, I prefer to see my sig before it goes out, and maybe edit it
or add to it, depending upon the message recipient, but maybe I'm too
picky. The multiple sigs for multiple attachments happens so
infrequently that I've been willing to put up with that trade-off.
While I wait for some input from everyone, I'll investigate methods to
have the best of both worlds... perhaps some tricky JavaScript can solve
the problem.
All the Best,
Ron
