The MOST annoying email signature.

[cgbier]

Texting and Twitter have been proven already to be detrimental to any language. Ever corrected middle school essays over the last couple of years?

Almo, thanks, I stick to my old dumb phone. Can't stand cell phones in general. Got mine from da wife to keep me wirelessly on the leash.

to keep me wirelessly on the leash.

LOL!

Do you use a tailless mouse?

You mean a hamster? Oops they have tiny tails but you can't see em from afar. Hey... Perfect! Stealth!

Still, could be worse... Those:
-annoying signatures to consider the environment and not print the email,
-combined with a 'corporate' signature which includes a huge logo and about every way of contacting the author of the email,
-and of course a disclaimer supposed to avoid legal trouble, which has a legal value of zero
all that attached to the message which states...'ok', in response to a proposal to meet at some place, at some time, ...

And the absolute total horror would be if this person is one of those...nah don't feel like a ban or so...persons in favor of replying below the preceding messages on those old mailclients which still includes every message ever sent...

I see a point in those emails if someone replies a business email. In that case, replying from a phone would be less formal. There would be abbreviation used as well. So that signature is more to tell the recipient excuse my typos.

My previous Tmobile phone (I think it's the HTC Sensation), it forces his signature like this (I forgot the exact wording).

"Sent from Tmobile, the largest 4G network in the US"

I erased it or changed it to something else. It won't save.

I'm in Taky's camp despite that this thread is no place for sober discussion. I know I'm in the pub, but just assume that some of us are designated drivers at the moment.

I can't condone poor grammar or spelling just because a smart phone is used to respond to an e-mail, but in a business context if someone is replying to an e-mail and attachments which they have only been able to view on a smart phone I can understand that the response will be briefer and that the responder may not mark-up changes to a document, but might merely describe suggested changes.

Depending upon context, I might appreciate getting their initial response as early as possible.

Depending upon context, I might appreciate getting their initial response as early as possible.

I agree with your gist, BUT:

In this 0.02% of all cases, this sender could have merely stated: "Sorry Bruce, this is just my initial response: I'm traveling right now in Tasmania."
This would have been more personal, more accurate, and more truthful (hopefully).

Does this person REALLY have to rely on the phone posting that sentence for him/her?

Like I said.....lazy.

So I got an email today.... the message itself was written in the subject and the body only contained this:


"From my Android phone on T-Mobile. The first nationwide 4G network."


Really????

So why the fuck do I need to know if someone sent their shitty email from their shitty iPhone?
This is so annoying.
I think I will close all my future emails with:

"Sent from my computer"
