Delete automatic Signature from forwarded emails VBA macro - vba

Question

Newbie Outlook VBA. intermediate Excel VBA. Windows 7 Professional, Outlook 2010
I have a script running from a rule that autoforwards all incoming emails. I need it as a rule because otherwise it will not forward the mails in the queue when Outlook loads.
I would like to have the default signature deleted when the mails are forwarded. As the reply is "blank" it is unnecessary to have the sig appended. I have found some code that supposedly worked in Outlook 2007 from the MSDN site. It compiles no errors, executes no errors. I have referenced MS Word in VBA. But the forwarded emails all have the signature still attached.
I cannot just delete the signature because I need it to be there on replies. The switch for the signature is for both replies and forwarded mail.
Here is the code:
Option Explicit
Sub Incoming3(MyMail As MailItem)
Dim strID As String
Dim strSender As String
Dim StrSubject As String
Dim objItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
strID = MyMail.entryID
Set objItem = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(strID)
strSender = objItem.SenderName
StrSubject = objItem.Subject
StrSubject = strSender + ": " + StrSubject
objItem.Subject = StrSubject
objItem.AutoForwarded = False
Set myItem = objItem.Forward
myItem.Recipients.Add "bcc.hwb#gmail.com"
myItem.DeleteAfterSubmit = True
Call DeleteSig(objItem)
myItem.Send
Set myItem = Nothing
Set objItem = Nothing
End Sub
Sub DeleteSig(msg As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim objDoc As Word.Document
Dim objBkm As Word.Bookmark
On Error Resume Next
Set objDoc = msg.GetInspector.WordEditor
Set objBkm = objDoc.Bookmarks("_MailAutoSig")
If Not objBkm Is Nothing Then
objBkm.Select
objDoc.Windows(1).Selection.Delete
End If
Set objDoc = Nothing
Set objBkm = Nothing
End Sub
Any help with Outlook or VBA code would be much appreciated.

Processing the wrong mail in DeleteSig.
myItem.DeleteAfterSubmit = True
Call DeleteSig(myItem)
myItem.Send

Answer 2

When you assign a VBA macro sub to run by the rule you get an instance of the MailItem object. For example:
Sub Incoming3(MyMail As MailItem)
The MyMail object represents an incoming email message which you should use in the code. But I see that you get a new instance:
strID = MyMail.entryID
Set objItem = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(strID)
There is no need to do so. Use the MyMail object in the code.
Also I see the following code:
Set objBkm = objDoc.Bookmarks("_MailAutoSig")
Try to run the code under the debugger and see whether the bookmark can be found. If there is no such bookmark you need to search the body for the first entry From: in the text and delete all the content before that keyword.
