HTML email signatures need to die. There's nothing more annoying than getting an email with a huge, colorful and distracting signature.
Signatures should be plain text and a few lines at most. Apple got it 100% right here in limiting the software. Please stop including entire resumes in signatures.
Here's mine, by the way:

- dshipper 15y agoThanks for the comment! I agree to some extent but using HTML doesn't necessarily mean a gaudy signature. For example your two line signature could be reduced to one line by linking your name to www.kswizz.com. I don't think that we should limit use of a technology because it could be used to create something ugly (almost all technology can be used that way) but instead look at what kind of beautiful things it can make.

- sdfjkl 15y ago"Sig dashes" are the closest to a standard signature delimiter and consist of two dashes followed by one space and a newline (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676#section-4.3 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676#section-4.3). They are widely supported by email and usenet software (Pine, mutt, Gmail, etc.)
