Creating & Displaying AutoSignatures

Have you ever received a message with no further information on how to contact the sender? Outlook will let you set up your own signature information and place it automatically at the bottom of every new message. You can include any information you like including phone number, fax number, e-mail address, etc.. This will let people know how to get in touch with you. You can have several different signatures so that you can choose one based upon who the message is addressed to. For example, you can have a formal signature to include in messages for people outside of Winnefox, and a simple one for messages you send within Winnefox.
