Email signature not showing on replies in Outlook
Outlook has a setting that controls whether signatures show on replies. Go to Outlook → Preferences → Signatures on Mac or File → Options → Mail → Signatures on Windows. Make sure there's a checkmark next to Use my signature on new messages and replies.
Email signatures in Outlook have separate settings for new messages versus replies. If the reply setting isn't turned on, your signature won't appear when you click Reply. Checking the signature settings and making sure both new messages and replies are enabled fixes most cases. If the setting is on but still doesn't work, the signature file can be corrupted.
