Setting Send-From Account in VBA

Unless you explicly remove the old signature and insert teh new onee, I
don't think there is a way to force Outlook to do that for you.

Sorry if this is double-posting, I don't see my recent reply. I got
the sending portion working using a timer. This is almost complete,
but the signature issue remains. Now the original message gets
canceled, the account gets changed, and then a second later it resends
with the new account. What's the best way to change the signature at
this point? Technically the email is still being displayed on screen
so the user can see the changes. I've seen some suggestions of using
word bookmarks or reading the signature directly from the registry,
but I was wondering if you had a suggestion for the best way to do
that.

Thanks,
Josh

OK, explicitly removing and inserting is fine. However, I'm not sure
how to get started in terms of:
1) Locating the existing signature in the message and removing it
(given that I will have to determine where the signature block is,
since the text could be anything).
2) Determining which signature goes with the newly selected account
3) Inserting the new signature at the correct location.

Any ideas to get me started?

Thanks,
Josh
