How to Add Signatures to Different E-mail Messages in Outlook

Every email message is accompanied by a well designed signature. If you use Outlook both for personal as well as work purposes, you may want to use different signatures when corresponding with your contacts. Sometimes, you may even want to use different signatures for different purposes.
