So how come...

Why do people put lines at the bottoms of their emails saying what device they sent their messages from? Is there some reason I need to know, or are they just bragging about their new toys? I've been seeing "sent from my Blackberry" for a while, just now I saw "Sent from my iPad."

This message was sent from my Windows XP box, service pack 3, FireFox 3.6.8. Just in case you needed to know that.

It might be under your control. There are instructions

Thanks, I thought that I recalled someone that I mentioned this to going in and disabling it. He didn't realize it was happening, and went in and turned it off when he found out. But it had been a while and I couldn't recall exactly.

These instructions are older, but look easier. Other message implied that they may not work anymore though.

1. Select Messages.
2. Select Options.
3. Select Email Settings.
4. Set Use Auto Signature to No.

No "Auto Signature" option on mine.

I guess we'll just have to put up with the spam then. On life's annoyance list, it's pretty far down. The political screed sigs are much worse.
