Prior to a recent hard reset with my new VZW XV6800 (WM6 w/ Office Mobile 6
or so) I had a signature added automatically to my outgoing e-mails. Now I
can't figure out how to get this function back. Does anybody know how to do
this? And when I send e-mail (I assume the device is actually sing OL
Mobile) is it going out as text, html or what? And do I have (or want?) any
control over that? Thanks!

Wait! I got the answer. In Outlook Mobile click/tap Menu, Tools, Options.
Select Signatures. Enter the desired signature and check the boxes as
appropriate and OK your way out. I knew it was easy!

BTW, should any of you have similar problems with ANY e-mail client out
there (not just messaging), just take a look at the "Signature" row of the
main chart (
http://www.winmobiletech.com/022006MailerClients/MailerCompChart.html ) of
my Mailer Bible (
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
); it has mini-tutorials on setting up the signature (and everything else
mailing-related you can think of).

I am pretty much figuring this stuff out (crudely) as I go. I assume my
XV6800 is using Outlook Mobile for mail but I really can't tell. However,
one obvious difference compared with OL 2003 is that I have very little
flexibility in formatting. Even really primitive stuff like fonts, bold,
underline. I don't do fancy stuff, like logos, pictures, graphics etc. And
it seems to take hours until the mail I send actually shows up in the Sent
Items folder, where there is no way to figure out to whom it was sent
without opening it. It's great to know that everything in the Sent folder
was sent by, oh surprise: by me! Duh. I read that there are some technical
reasons why MS can't get the folder to show your addressee as OL does.
That's like telling me exactly why my flight will not be taking off. I
appreciate the info, but it skips over the fact that the point was to be on
that flight in the air! Is some other e-mail program better? Probably.

On the other hand, it is pretty critical that my e-mail on the device sync
with my desktop system--or with an exchange server if we ever get one for
our firm. Hence the feeling that I am inexorably tied to Microsoft if I
want any semblance of "convergence." And semblance is probably the right
word. There is a wide gulf between what Microsoft seems to promise through
WM6/Office Mobile 6 and the reality. On the other hand, I have generally
been impressed with what the phone can do and try not to focus on how the
phone is not yet a decent substitute for my desktop. As far as I can tell
it beats the hell out of my partners' Blackberries (although I think my
niece who works for Telus has a Blackberry that does whatever my device can
do.).

I appreciate your referring me to these sources. I need all the help I can
get. But I think that stuff is way over my head. For example, I have no
idea what IMAP means and whether it is something I need to know about. I
believe our firm's e-mail goes through a POP3 server. Am I free to use IMAP
on it if I choose? Do I want to? Dunno. Headers? I for 'em if you're for
'em. But I have no idea why it matters. I think OL 2003 has headers
available somewhere for e-mail and I have occasionally looked one up where I
suspected spam or something malicious. Talk about googledygook!

Thanks again!
