I use a little add-on for T-bird called QuickText [free]. You can have any number of signatures and/or canned items that go into the message wherever you wish. I'm sure there are others just like it for other email clients.

It just seems like common courtesy. I include my location because we moved from 40+ years in CA in 2015, and I'm still a "six" in "seven-land". Then again, some folks write things I'm sure they'd rather not have their name/call identified with. [:-)

I do not include my callsign on non ham reflector posts, nor do I sign with '73'. In other words, I do not have a signature file that attaches automatically - easy enough to do it manually.

In my opinion relying on the email address for identification is not sufficient - so many email addresses are cryptic and convey little information.

I am proud of my call, and have had it since I moved to Maryland in 1969 when I had to change it from W8DLB.

It makes little sense to make a signature with a call sign when most
people outside of amateur radio would have no idea what it is?

There is no need for a signature when the name is already in the sent field.
