This is probably a strange request but how would I go about modifying the signature text in a new mail message. I’d like to replace the existing company name in the signature with a different one and also the phone number when email is sent to a particular external domain(s).
Could this be achieved either by adding code to the mail file (if this can be done would the code be able to run before MIME conversion) or with an agent in mail.box that would run on held messages (that would need to modify the MIME parts)?
I’m not a developer so I don’t really know if this is even achievable. Thanks for any help…
It depends on whether your signature is a plain text or HTML based signature. Here are the instructions on how to add/change a signature excerpted from the admin handbook:
"To add a personal signature to all messages you need a text, HTML, or image file to use as your signature before you can perform the following steps.
Click More above the message list, and then click Preferences.
Click the Signature tab.
Select Automatically append a signature to the bottom of my outgoing mail messages.
Do one of the following:
To enter text directly, select Use Text and then enter text in the text area.
To use an existing file, select Use an HTML or Image File, click Browse. Select a file type, browse to the file to use, and then click Open.
Click OK.
Note: You can change the signature at any time by repeating these steps and entering new text or browsing to a different file. You can remove the signature by clearing the Automatically append a signature to the bottom of my outgoing mail messages option."
If your signature is HTML based you will need to edit the file first, then add it via the steps outlined above. If it is a graphics file you will need to change it and then add it in the same fashion as described for the HTML based signature.
if i understand correctly, you want to replace/correct the user-signatures.user signatures are eighter saved in a profile document in the mailfile or in a txt/html-document somewhere localy or on a share:
this is a tricky thing, but is solvable: you might write a script that checks where the signature is saved and then change the values. i would place the script in the mailtemplate and call it from the postopen-event
→ if a user opens his mailfile the script runs through (log when done in a profile document that it only runs once)
i’ve also made scripts for customers to be sent as a button by mail that creates standardised signatures
if you really need more (signatures based on recipients) i could also provide a solution that hooks into the mail.box
