signature
Jump to user comments
1. A set of function symbols with arities.
2. messaging (Or sig) A few lines of information about the
sender of an electronic mail message or news posting.
Most Unix mail and news software will automagically append
a signature from a file called .signature in the user's homedirectory to outgoing mail and news.
A signature should give your real name and your e-mailaddress since, though these appear in the headers of your
messages, they may be munged by intervening software. It is
currently (1994) hip to include the URL of your home page
on the World-Wide Web in your sig.
The composition of one's sig can be quite an art form,
including an ASCII logo or one's choice of witty sayings
(see sig quote, fool file). However, large sigs are a
waste of bandwidth, and it has been observed that the size
of one's sig block is usually inversely proportional to one's
prestige on the net.
