    How many of you place a fancy, motivational, cool etc message at the end of official mail id? I personally hate it. I just keep my name and a contact number. That is it.

    Office signature for internal mail just plain sucks. They are bashing us again and again about IT costs and how much storage costs, and they automatically add a 15 line signature to every one-liner you send out. Talk about being consistent :~

        But you know, if you use smaller font, that takes up less discspace. :)

          A "must use on pain of death" sig was distributed here, containing active links to graphics, javascript, and God-knows what else, so I ignored it. Death is preferable to that kind of humiliation.

                  Even worse, there is somebody at my work with a bunch of nonsense in the signature and a blue sky background (I think there are clouds). I sent an email like that to a computer science teacher before I even got to my college and he set me straight real quick like. I have two office signatures. One is a standard 4 lines or so (name, contact info, company, title), but replies have a single-line signature (a compressed version of the 4 lines, minus some info). The idea is that my long signature serves as an introduction to anybody who doesn't know me, and the single-line signature is a reminder so they don't have to go sorting through all the emails I sent them to find my contact information. Motivational messages in a professional email just make the person seem unprofessional, so I don't do it.

                      Actually, it might! Consider the case with an HTML format email, where a span has the (obsolete) font tag with a size spec of "12". Decrease the font to "9", and you've just halved your storage claim for that string part alone! ;)

                        We use company template with placeholders for name and you just fill in your name, position and e-mail. Everything else (logo, web site etc) is already there.

                          Not really signature, per se, but how about the ridiculous bits around "if you're not the intended addressee, delete this email..." I'm supposed to magically know you didn't intend me as the addressee? Not to mention by the time I've gotten to this idiotic part of the message, I've already read the (presumably confidential) content. Well, ok, I probably haven't read it. But that's only because of the author...

                              That is one of the most illogical instruction one can find. And that is provided at the end of the mail. So, one would have already read the mail. I am sure there was a manager who thought about it and forced one helpless developer to create this.
