mailto link doesn't add Outlook signature in letter

I'm trying to figure this out as well.

According to http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Groupware/Outlook/Q_26410679.html you get either the body or the signature. I've tested this and removing my body text brought my signature back.

Alternatively, you can hardcode your signature into the body text.

    I (and some folks) need to send a lot of similar e-mail's everyday. Using Outlook 2010 as mail client. Today I want to somehow simplify this process. Thinking about html page with mailto links. Like:

    <a href="mailto:[email protected]&subject=Subject01&body=textForLetter">Letter to someone</a>
    <a href="mailto:[email protected]&subject=Subject02&body=anotherTextForLetter">Letter to someone else</a>
    

    etc...

    Problem is come out when I clicked on one of them. Outlooks "New message" window pops up, but without signature. It's only text from mailto link in body. Can someone point out what I did wrong?

    I don't want customize. I have already set up signature in Outlook. When I create new letter in Outlook, signature shows up. When letter created by mailto - no signature at all.
