re: “Best” on Email Signatures

I wonder if there has ever been a case where the court ruled, "The email sender would be liable for [breach of contract, giving incorrect legal advice, violating confidences, etc.], but they are protected from liability because one of the sentences in their wall-of-text email disclosures said they would not be responsible for such things.

I am sure at one point, they were pretty standard financial ones lots of companies use for investment business, but still I wouldn't use that as my legal protection.

This feels like you want the email to be personal or something. Corporate emails aren't personal, they are work.

Come to think of it, I wonder if this is why people think corporate America is "boring". The lack of personality in a business email has nothing to do with someone personally. We are working, and making sure you think we're funny or personable isn't on the agenda.

Be yourself on the "replies" sig.

Based on purpose, level of importance of message and relationship to person(s).

200 years ago when letter writing was a high art form, they got their nickle’s worth.

“I remain your humble correspondent” n shite

Put something useful in your email signature....like your next planned PTO so we know not to book any meetings with you during that time.

Yea, people wrote and spoke better back then. The delivery was as important as the message.

Now it's a jungle out here.

I always struggle with what to use, especially on work emails.

I put “Sent from my IPhone” in my outlook sig and “Sent from Outlook” on my IPhone sig. That way nobody knows where I am.

This is good

I just made my phone signature identical to my email signature, but yours is much more zag when they zig. I defer to your methods and will consider them.

Let me clarify. “Best” simply means to worm yourself, by any means possible (even though vague email signatures, if necessary) as deeply into the recipient’s mind as you can and cause them to question your motives on online platforms, thus spreading the deeper message that only the true intellectuals comprehend.
