E-mail signatures are a few lines of text that are added to the end of the e-mail messages that you send. Typically, a signature would consist of information such as your name, position, company name, phone number, and your personal e-mail address. You could also customize your signature by adding a favourite quote or your company's mission statement.

Signatures are often added to e-mail messages to follow good ettiquette (aka. netiquette in cyberspace). An e-mail signature should be limited to no more than five lines of text.

 

For specific instructions on how to add a signature to your e-mail messages, please refer to the documentation, 'help' files, or 'read me' files that came with your e-mail program for details. If you cannot locate these instructions, contact the product vendor for further assistance.
