Next
End If
For Each xSignFile In xSignFld.Files
If xFSO.GetExtensionName(xSignFile.Path) = "htm" Then
Set xSignStream = xFSO.OpenTextFile(xSignFile.Path)
xSignText = xSignStream.ReadAll
If InStr(xSignText, xFldName) <> 0 Then
xSignText = Replace(xSignText, xFldName, xFldPath)
End If
Set xMailItem = Outlook.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
xMailItem.HTMLBody = xSignText
xMailRTFText = StrConv(xMailItem.RTFBody, vbUnicode)
xMeetingRTFText = StrConv(xMeetingItem.RTFBody, vbUnicode)
xPos = InStrRev(xMeetingRTFText, "{\*\htmltag104 </div>}\htmlrtf }\htmlrtf0")
xFilePath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders(16)
xFilePath = xFilePath & "\MeetingText.txt"
If xFSO.FileExists(xFilePath) Then
xFSO.DeleteFile xFilePath
End If
Set xWriteStream = xFSO.OpenTextFile(xFilePath, 8, True)
xMeetingRTFText = Mid(xMeetingRTFText, 1, xPos - 1) & "{\*\htmltag72 </p>}{\*\htmltag0 \par }{\*\htmltag0 \par }" _
& "{\*\htmltag64 <p class=MsoNormal>}\htmlrtf {\htmlrtf0 {\*\htmltag148 <span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B050'>}\htmlrtf {\htmlrtf0" _

& vbCrLf & xMailRTFText & vbCrLf & Mid(xMeetingRTFText, xPos, Len(xMeetingRTFText) - xPos + 1)
xWriteStream.WriteLine xMeetingRTFText
Set xReadStream = xFSO.OpenTextFile(xFilePath)

PackBytes xByte, xAllRTFText
xMeetingItem.RTFBody = xByte
xMeetingItem.Save
