I dont entirely disagree with you. The problem is that there are frequently circumstances under which having my sig appear at the bottom of a long quoted message is impractical. For example, due to my position, I am frequently forwarded long email exchanges to which I was not originally privy. I respond to a whole new group of recipients, leaving the entire previous discussion untouched so that the context of what has occurred is evident. In this situation, it makes no sense for my signature to appear after many pages of quoted text.
In the abstract, it would be nice if everybody followed best-practices WRT email formation, but we live in the real world where people do not behave rationally and I am in a position where I need to keep a written record of everything I say and is said to me through email :) On Sun, 2009-09-27 at 14:09 -0400, Adam Tauno Williams wrote: > > - Is there a way to make my signature appear in every email without > > having to explicitly pick it?
