You always sign a letter, so why not sign e-mail too? A signature file, better known as a "sig line" or "sig file," is your identification in e-mail correspondence. You can include it automatically in every e-mail you send. These are some common elements for a signature file are:

• your name,
• your organization,
• contact information (phone & fax numbers)
• and your URL (your school/parish web page address) and e-mail address.
