Good point. But sometimes ISPs or web-based mail programs add junk of their own to your sig, and there's nothing you can do.
And there's also "advertising" related to the SENDER rather than the LIST. My sig below (just one line) is a link to a website which is plugging a book I wrote and want everybody in the world to buy a copy (or twelve :-) ) of. This goes on every e-mail I send to anybody, but I keep it short and reasonably unobtrusive. Jim Hartley Jay Gagnon wrote: > > > I'd like to add my perhaps more tempered agreement on this one.
