Hi,
I have created a very simple custom form which is published to the
Organisational Library so users can send simple SMS messages through
our EMail system.
I don't seem to have any ability to change the properties of the
standard Outlook Message field so I created a very simple text object
with a maximum length and simple validation.
However my Exchange 'expert' tells me that he cannot process any
content in an Outlook form unless it is in the Message field! :-(
Is this the case? Does Exchange have no means of opening a published
custom form and extracting the data in a user-defined field?
If not, can I modify the properties of the Message field to at least
set a max length? I also then have the problem that if I set a
default signature block my sig is built-in to the published form and
appended to all messages sent using that form by other users!!

There's nothing to "fix" regarding the signature. If you don't want the signature to appear, you turn it off. If you do want it, you turn it on. Since you don't want it to appear when designing forms, you turn it off.

Very true it's just, as I said, that as the creator of organisational
forms it just seems odd that the development function, for the
organisaton, is subject to the same rules as the user function.
It seems that this issue, of unwanted signatures, is recognised and
Microsoft have issued a fix, for one situation anyway, which does
actually help in this scenario where I want to prevent signatures
being added to the form message. :-)

That article actually deals with a different issue -- the addition of the user's signature to a new item created with a custom form. I understood your issue to be the addition of the designer's signature to the form itself.
