re: People who end their emails with “Regards”

At least with thank you, your thanking them for reading your email.

Not proper etiquette. You aren't thanking them for reading their email. What are you thanking them for? You should only say thanks for something you actually thank them for.

I usually write “Sincerely yours,” on mine.

Appropriate in personal communication only.

Best Regards is a polite, professional and impersonal way to end communication.

I saw one recently that said "with appreciation."
