Never heard of this happening; sounds like (a) the client has been installed for multiple users, and (b) either Windows is either deleting or not storing the user profile, or something else changed, like the computer was added to the Windows domain when it wasn't before, or something else which would cause the old profile to be invalidated.

See the topic "Configuring TNEF Conversion" in admin help.

Well, given that return receipt is often blocked for security/anti-spam reasons at many servers (including my own) and also can be blocked by the recipient in many mail clients (such as Outlook), relying on return receipts is, well, not very reliable. The way to do this, however, is to modify the Calendar Profile and Memo forms to provide the user the option to make this the default and also to query that default and apply it.

There are third-party approaches to this, none of which I am familair with. This question has also been brought up many times in these forums before, and there are some hand-coded approaches that can give you a starting point as well. But the question needs to be asked what the business purpose for this capability is? If it's for discovery purposes, then you need a server-side solution.

Notes R8 clients use Microsoft IE to render html mail unless you disable that feature in the client preferences. The Notes R8 mail template also adds a more "Outlook-like" framework to the experience.

No. Support for multiple signatures (and better support for rich text signatures) is being heavily investigated for future releases, probably as early as 8.5; check out Mary Beth Raven's blog (http://www.notesdesignblog.com) for the public-facing aspect of this.

Not that I know of.

Other than the simple approach of using a local mail file and controlling replication, the only solutions for scheduling mail ahead of time are third-party templates. There may be something on openntf.org or in the sandbox; I don't recall off the top of my head.

The default setting for the client preference "Expand names field contents when printing" is Disabled; perhaps this is enabled on the clients where you are seeing this behavior?

Sounds like SPR #DCOY7F984F, which is addressed in R8.0.2.

Well, despite the problems that any recipient using any mail client other than Outlook might have reading the non-standard HTML that Word will put into a MIME-format message, the answer has been Yes since R5:
