My Sigs are getting bigger than my messages!
Hi all Some of you may be aware of the recent change in UK Company law that requires certain information to be included on web sites and in emails, viz: Every company needs to list its company registration number, place of registration and registered office address on its website and in emails. Now that's OK, but I have a number of different signatures in my address book for specific contacts and groups. Keeping on top of these changes is in danger of becoming a major task! What I would like to do is have a central location (a small text file perhaps?) that contains this required information that is automatically added to the end of every email on an account basis. Can this be done? If it can, how? I look forward to your suggestions! ;) -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 3.95.06 and AntispamSniper 1.7.0.8 Current version is 3.95.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That's a good suggestion Mark, I don't know whether that would be allowable or not. I have had a play around and I think the %attachfile route is the simplest for me. At least all the 'legalease' rests in one place! I've just pulled this off the web: *** The Companies (Registrar, Languages and Trading Disclosure) Regulations 2006 requires every company email signature should include: Company name and geographic address, including both the trading and registered names if these are different. Both the trading address and the registered office address must be given. Company registration number and place of registration (e.g. company registered in England and Wales) If a business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details (including any registered number) should be shown. If the business has a VAT number it should be stated (prefixed with GB if it trades outside the UK) *** -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 3.95.06 and AntispamSniper 1.7.0.8 Current version is 3.95.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
