<title>Working with email signatures</title>

<p>A signature consists of one or more lines of text (or even a picture) that will be added at the end of an email that you send. It can contain contact information or other things.</p>
<note style="tip"><p>The term "signature" is also differently used in terms of <link xref="mail-encryption">encryption</link>.</p></note>

<note style="tip"><p>Per <link href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676#section-4.3">long-standing convention</link>, signatures always start with two dashes and a space in a separate line. This allows many email clients to automatically strip signatures from quotes when replying.</p></note>
</page><!-- TODO: The two dashes and a space signature delimiter can be disabled via dconf in org.gnome.evolution.mail.composer-no-signature.delim but don't really want to advertise that -->
