The Basics of Electronic Mail

Signature Option

Most email programs allow you to create one or more "signatures" that will automatically appear at the end of all emails you send. It's a good idea to use the signature option to guarantee that your emails contain full contact information (email address, your full name, company name, telephone number, fax number, website address, etc.). Be careful about using email signatures to add "personalized" touches such as quotes, poetry, jokes, etc. These only make your emails longer and more time-consuming to download, which can become annoying.
