Using random signatures in email
Thursday, 23. October 2008, 19:21:59
Recently, I sent an email to someone for getting news and I have been answered she is in dire straits...
My mail user agent inserts random signatures using an external program (fortune1) and for that email it was this one:
"You need no longer worry about the future. This time tomorrow you'll be dead."
It made me laugh, I hope it wasn't too offensive though.
Do you use random signatures ?
Do you limit them to "non-offensive" entries ? fortune has that feature but it's a subjective point anyway.
What do you think of using random signatures for professional correspondence ? Let's say internal usage only.

For that email, I only saw it some days later and I was feeling so awkward that I laughed nervously.
This one may really be scaring for the recipient ...
