I have successfully setup my signature but do not see an option to either not include my signature in replies or include a shorter version of my new email signature. Anyone know if this option exists? If not is there a workaround?

You missed the question...it was - can you have a DIFFERENT signature for replies. As far as I can tell, the answer is no. – user120751 Mar 1 '12 at 0:17
That doesn't seem to work. It only makes it the default for new emails and not for replies or forwards. – user123550 Mar 18 '12 at 4:27

I have finally found a work-around for this issue. I found on the Microsoft support site.

It basically entails setting up an additional account(for the same email address) without a signature. you then create a rule that moves all incoming mail to the account without a signature and then flip a few toggle switches so that you are not receiving mail twice.

The answer to this is no, cannot remember where I read it, but I did somewhere..and we are stuck with the signature functionality in all its limitedness in outlook 2011 for Mac. :)

You can definitely have you signature for replies and forwards. All you need to do is enable your signature as the default signature for your email address.

  1. Go to your signature menu in outlook

  2. On the bottom right hand corner you will see a button called "Default Signatures.."

  3. There you can select your signature

That's not what the question is asking. He's saying he cannot have a different signature for replies and forwards. – donturner Oct 22 '12 at 17:06

I don't know if this answer helps: http://www.office.mvps.org/faq_topic/signatures.html#sig2

It basically says that everything after

--<space><return>

gets stripped away. It didn't work for me though... :(
