  1. I like this bit of VBA… it is perfect for my problem of working with multiple client formats / signatures.
    Question: what happens if the email is sent from an account that is not included in the VBA… will it revert to the default settings made in Outlook?
    If this scenario causes an issue / crash, then is it possible to amend the VBA so that it has Case = or something equivalent and then set the default for this Case???
