What is the Signature?      Retyping your name, contact information, etc. after each of your messages can be time consuming. WebMail allows you to create a "signature file" that will automatically be attached to the end of each message you compose!      A "signature file" is the information that you want to appear at the bottom of each outgoing message. As a professional, you will want this to basically include the same information you would put on a business letter or business card, especially if you conduct any business on the internet or intend to belong to any professional mailing lists. For Example: John Doe Math Teacher Braden High School 135 E. 5th St. Braden, CO 80493 (970)676-8345 johndoe@braden.k12.co.us http://www.braden.k12.co.us/Doe This not only prevents you from having to type this information every time you compose an e-mail, but it also gives your readers some information about you, such as where you are from, what you do, or where they can find your website. Some people like to add another personal dimension to their signature by including a favorite quote at the end. For Example: Mary Sanders Science Dept. Johnson H.S. Paxton, MI msanders@midwest.net "The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men." -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1963
