Signature with 8.5 templates / 8.0.2 Basic client
Any thoughts on the 8.5 template signature and working with older clients.... beginning to get annoying here copy/pasting sig. into documents. Most of my machines frankly aren't powerful enough for the sludgy new 8.5x clients ( a netbook and a P4 2.8), even dual core notebook runs slowly.... what were IBM thinking about!!? But I digress.
The basic client with desginer and admin is only available upto 8.0.x and I want to run the 8.5 template for iNotes and other machines so at the moment mails sent from the 8.0.2 clients gets no signature at all since the new RichText signature in the 8.5 template isn't understood by the 8.0.x client
Before I reverse engineer the profile document fields myself, or end up creating an action to manually create a mail with the sig in. for 8.0.2 or the like has anyone already worked out a way of tricking the 8.0.2 client of picking up a HTML signature file (or even plain text) and yet leave the 8.5 Rich Text sig. in place too?
thanks!

OK, sorry if I didn't make it clear. Thanks for taking the trouble to respond.
Lotus Notes client is 8.0.2 basic
Template is 8.5.x
In Preferences you can now add a Rich text signature and there is no access to use / amend the older plain text, or "point to HTML file" sig.
In 8.5 client composing a new message and you get the sig.
In 8.0.2 basic client .. no sig.
I toyed with the idea of manualyl setting the SigantureOption? filed in the Calendar profile and whatever field the old template used to write to containing the actual sig, but I imagine the 8.5 template code probably ignores that anyway.
Likewise toyed with having the local replica on the 8.0.2 clients with a different template but getting silly!

Just having a read through the code in the CoreEmailClasse4s script library, "InsertSignature" Sub at first glance it SHOULD still work to use the old methods too, but it seems not to.
