nga cant even quote right

1/12/2009 8:04:33 AM

I've seen a lot of awful email signatures, but that one wins.

1/12/2009 8:04:59 AM

that's a horrible signature

1/12/2009 8:05:11 AM

it's monday. slack needed plz.

1/12/2009 8:05:23 AM

dear lord baby jesus, thats a borderline spam e-mail by itself

1/12/2009 8:08:36 AM

mine is long

but damn, at least it makes sense.. that shit is awful

1/12/2009 8:09:32 AM

My current company forced everybody to use a ridiculously long email sig with a disclaimer after the contact info

1/12/2009 8:10:42 AM

i need to make one

[Edited on January 12, 2009 at 8:13 AM. Reason : cause i'm not cool without one ]

1/12/2009 8:13:29 AM

i can't stand long ones

and if you have one AT ALL you don't need to put it on every email that's a reply to a thread. maybe the first email of a thread is okay, but shit I don't even do that

1/12/2009 8:15:39 AM

i dunno.. i like people to at least put their phone number at the bottom. it's really f'in annoying when i can't find someones # and have to dig through 5 threads of emails to find it in one random one where you decided to put it

1/12/2009 8:17:49 AM

how do you make it so that your sig only shows up on 1 email?

1/12/2009 8:18:47 AM

that's why you either add that person to your address book / contact list, or use some of the new search technologies (windows search ftmfw) to quickly find their phone #

1/12/2009 8:20:10 AM

^^there's an option in outlook for a signature for new messages vs one for replies. i just go to insert signature and hit the one i want when i wanna use one instead of letting outlook do it for me

^lol, so I'm suppose to pick out/remember to enter their info on the one random (usually not first) email that has their info on it? rrright. and windows search can lick my balls

[Edited on January 12, 2009 at 8:22 AM. Reason : asf]

1/12/2009 8:20:51 AM

yep. it's not that hard once you remember to do it every time. and windows search is so awesome im sure it would lick your balls if you wanted it to.

1/12/2009 8:27:27 AM

maybe i'll give it a shot then

1/12/2009 8:29:36 AM

mine's longer

well, doesn't legal correspondence via email have to have super long disclaimers at the end?

i think those are acceptable

1/12/2009 9:13:06 AM

yeah but the legal ones are usually in super tiny print, so they get overlooked right away.

^^ i want those hours!! 9:30-1 sounds do-able for Fridays!!

1/12/2009 9:17:12 AM

it's 8:30 to 1:00 now, but yes...it's definitely doable.

1/12/2009 9:29:18 AM

I love it when the actual message body is about 5 words and the sig is 2 paragraphs

1/12/2009 9:45:24 AM

ha, our company just sent out a new requirement for email sigs. certain format for new emails and for replies. theyre both long as all hell too.

1/12/2009 9:52:54 AM

any mail that goes external gets a wicked long legal disclaimer

it's like an 8 line paragraph.

my actual sig though is 10 lines though

full name
(space)
title
business
department
external email
office location
aim
phone
fax (LOL LIKE ANYONE USES FAX)

this is the problem with lawyers and law suit happy people. you can't really destroy all copies, at least one person, being a typical businessman can't, short of a nuclear missle attack on the hard drive, e-mail servers, etc.
