Sorry for the previous and rude comment. I'm not usually resorting to
such kind of language but this really shocked me. Ubuntu is accused of
copying Apple too much as it is but this is bringing it too far. It
feels sad.

I agree with Shane. I like to idea to some degree; but 'Sent from
Ubuntu' isn't quite the right wording. In fact maybe, this just simply
shouldn't be done by default. A lot of people here obviously see a
problem with it.
Something I've noticed lately is that there's not really a central
community
It might be great for and opt-in!

Tacky, useless clutter. If anyone actually wants this, they can still
add a signature. Though you could manually remove it, too, default
behaviour should be you get what you write.

Please clarify whether this signature will be set as default for
Maverick. We're well past documentation string freeze, but controversial
changes like this have to be documented so that users can opt-out. If
the default hasn't been changed yet, please consult the documentation
and translation
I, for one, fail to see a problem here as long as it's simply a pre-set
signature which is seen while typing an email and can be deleted both once as
