Also a good idea - but there's something about this in the wiki already: http://www.opensuse.org/Opensuse_mailing_list_netiquette
I began this one and forgot about it :- )
Well I think this is really not good as it certainly will impact my own emails to this list. Often it is only possible to convey the whole message of who you are. Usually i put it in there as a reference once per thread. Whatever your habit it is not fair to choose 4 lines, when that is not even enough to say your address. So I propose to remove this: Most people on the list genuinely want to help people out in solving any issues they may have. Very large signature blocks at the bottom of emails can hinder this as they often swamp the actual body of the email. A good guideline is a maximum of four lines, each a maximum of eighty characters across (plain text of course). For reference read.
