My signature in Microsoft Outlook 2007 has just stopped working
I just got done solving a desktop icon arrangement issue by unchecking the "Align icons to grid" option, and the first time I rebooted and replied to an e-mail in Outlook, the signature I have set up for business did not properly display. I can't imagine how the 2 are related but I find it coincidental.
I'm using Windows 7. What happened was I set up a business signature which included 2 hyperlinks. After replying to an e-mail, All the text information displays, but the hyperlinks are gone. I double checked the settings for the signature (see attached file) and it seems fine.
Any thoughts?

The e-mail I noticed having a problem with, was in plain text. I rebuilt the signature and have the same issue. Is it the fact that the e-mail type is plain text?
Yes, e-mail in a plain text format can't have hyperlinks, you have to change the format to HTML before you answer. To change the format switch to the 'Format Text' tab, there are three format buttons to the left.
There are still a few mail clients out there, which can't display HTML e-mails. However Outlook should send also the plain text version of the mail even when you choose HTML, so the mail client can choose the one to display.

Acrklor,
Thanks. I'm looking at the e-mail I received now and interestingly enough, there is no "format text" tab. There is only Message, Developer, Add-Ins, and Adobe PDF.

You're right, sorry.
In that case you have to press answer and then in the new window change to the 'Options' tab to change the format.

Thank you.
What you suggest will work when I am creating new hyperlinks. However, for the hyperlinks already in my signature, even following the above directions, the hyperlinks do not appear in the signature. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
You can see which format it has in the title bar of the opened e-mail window.
