HTML Signatures in Outlook2003

I have created an html based signature file using good html practices to be used in outlook2003 (ie I'm NOT using the <font ...> tag. I am not using Word to edit my messages, nor did I use Word to edit the html.

When I go to Tools>Options>mail format>signatures and select the new one, it renders properly in the preview window. But when I create a new message with that signature it doesn't render correctly at all.

Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks in advance!

Your message may be composed in plain text or rtf format. You can select html format for composition through Tools|Options
Mail Format tab
choose HTML in the dropdown for "Compose in this message format:"

Hope this fixes it for you.

Nope, the composition mode is already in HTML. I think what is happening is that I had an inline <Style> block in the <head> section. The Previewer honored it, but when the signature was added to a new html mail, that style section was removed.

My solution was to specify the stylings in each <span> block, rather than referencing style classes in the <span> block. It's kinda goofy, and I'd hate doing it ifI were having to actually write the code, but since I am generating the html code from a vbscript, I can use variables.

OK, it's not really a solution, but a workaround.
