I realize that the great majority of people view their e-mails in HTML but some of us still prefer plain-text and none of the e-mail signatures highlighted in the article would be viewable by me.
From RFC 1855 [0], "Netiquette Guidelines":
If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb
is no longer than 4 lines.
My .signature is two lines (not counting the "dash-dash-space" delimiter): my full name and e-mail on line one and my title and phone number on line two. If you need other information about me or my company, you can send me an e-mail or give me a call to get it.
A huge pet peeve of mine is the legal disclaimers and I will often respond to an e-mail that includes one with my own that's similar to the one mentioned in the article, just to be a snarky asshole.
