Subject: Signatures in Lotus Notes Did you know the Lotus Notes letterhead that contains all of your contact information (phone numbers, address, etc.) does not get sent when you send Email outside of Lotus Notes? Would you like the ability to select from multiple signatures (contact information) and insert them into Email that you send to non-Notes users? When we first went live on Lotus Notes, many of our users expressed concern that they no longer could use an automatic signature on their Emails. This was a feature available in many other Email solutions, but not in Lotus Notes. Well, now we have some good news for those of you who would like signature capability. Winnie Pooh [a fictitious name] has figured out a way to create a Lotus Notes database and a SmartIcon that will allow you to quickly and easily create signatures for your Emails. For example, you could set up a Business Signature, an Internal Signature, and a Personal Signature - all containing different types of information. Then using the signature SmartIcon you can select a Signature from your database to insert in to your Lotus Notes Email before sending. The signatures are restricted to 256 characters, they do not support tabs or fonts, and they must be text only (that is all that gets sent outside of Notes anyway). If this feature is something you could use, please send an email request directly to Winnie Pooh. She will send you a small Lotus Notes database, a SmartIcon, and installation instructions that will allow you to create multiple signatures. This is really a great innovation on Winnie's part and I'm sure that everyone who wants to use a signature on their emails will appreciate his persistence in developing this solution!
