This is absolutely unnecessary, and will probably not have any effect other than to be ignored. Furthermore, this is not a bug.

[Bug 615300] Re: Evolution should have a default signature enabled
I would like to see more details on the rationale behind this. Are there any studies showing that users like and keep this kind of thing even after being aware that they can turn it off? Or this is simply advertisement trying to slip into something that "most users don't care enough to change"? If it's the latter, I think Ubuntu should be above this kind of sneaky strategy. -- Evolution should have a default signature enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 615300] Re: Evolution should have a default signature enabled
I agree: This is completely useless. It makes at least some kind of sense on devices like the iPhone - because "Sent from my iPhone" is code for "Sorry for the terrible spelling". But using this to "promote" Ubuntu is not cool at all - it reminds me of the horrible ads that all the webmail providers used to append to eMails.

Please do not do this. We're not Microsoft.

[Bug 615300] Re: Evolution should have a default signature enabled
This is not a bug. Having no default signature is ideal. The "Sent from my ___" email signatures are obnoxious and unprofessional.

Thanks, I guess somebody will come with a suggestion for the string to use there? "Sent from a Ubuntu User" seems a bit weird. Do we know what other systems use?
