MrStuffins · 08-11-2011 02:18AM

You know this is an automated thing right?

There's definitely a MUCH MUCH more annoying habit people have about the end of their emails. Some people even do it on their posts on message boards.......... but i can't quite remember what it is.

You think that people are that pretentious that they would deliberately type that they sent you an email from their iPad etc?

Jeez!

I assure you, the name is entirely ironic.

Sent from my villa in the Maldives. Yes, travel really is that fast when you're this rich.

My driod doesn't do it automatically, I assume you have to turn it on first. I wouldn't put it past iphone users to select that option...

Most phones work better when you turn them on first.

Not when the phone has all the latest sh*te dance hits loaded onto it and it's in the possession of a 14 year old sitting on the bus!

It's on by standard for Apple and others. The reason the droids don't is because there are so many email and messaging apps on them. Droid users generally don't care.

Welcome to After Hours, there are plenty of other forums more suitable for this thread if you want "serious" answers.

I find that there are more smartarses per square meter in the "specialist" forums than in After Hours.

The difference between the smartasses here is that they are usually just taking the mick.

It's annoying.

There is, but then no one knows you're using an iPhone..

Cianos · 08-11-2011 04:28AM

It was a fairly clever marketing trick by Apple etc.

In practical terms, it's kinda handy to let the person you're replying to know that you're mailing from a mobile device, because that way they shouldn't expect speedy or detailed replies, or for you to be able to use Skype, send large attachments etc.

Yep, it's on by default, but there is an option to set the message to what ever you want or leave it blank. Mine is blank, just in case you were wondering if I owned an iPhone.

GreenWolfe · 08-11-2011 05:08AM

I got stung by default settings on my own phone twice. The built in app has "Sent from my Nokia" as an enabled signature. The Gmail app has a default setting "Append 'Sent from my mobile device' as a signature" enabled too.

It's almost cute isn't it? A Nokia sending email.....

JohnnyTodd · 08-11-2011 05:31AM

I leave the sent from iPhone signature on because it lets my collegues, customers, boss etc know I'm travelling.

That way I don't care about grammar and can be short in reply.

Does this make me a wanker?

On the Apple devices, it's a default setting, which you can change. (Settings –> Mail, Contacts, Calendar –> Signature). You can even make it fancier, with the instructions here.

Why do people feel the need to say at the end of their e-mails....
