I really dislike this type of things, I prefer plain text on email, HTML adds bloat to an otherwise small email. The site, and end result, though, looks nice!

If your service becomes known at work (a university) I will have to block it; my users (faculty, that is) will swarm it like bees to a hive. :-)

OMG, you got the username right.

Talk about getting a stomachache from stuff other people eat. But, whatever :-)

Signatures attract attention.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt.fan.warlord

> alt.fan.warlord is a Usenet newsgroup dedicated to the dissection and flaming of signature files (sigs) used in other Usenet groups. The newsgroup was best-known during the early and mid-1990s, and can no longer be considered active. In its time, it was a notable "underground" Internet phenomenon.

> For the most part, alt.fan.warlord targeted sigs that violated a principle of Usenet netiquette known as the McQuary limit — i.e., the rule that a sig should be less than 80 columns wide (preferably 72 or less), and no longer than four lines. This limit kept Usenet messages reasonably short, conserving bandwidth, and ensured that an 80-column terminal — the most common display type — could display the sig properly without text wrapping to the following lines. The McQuary limit, sometimes referred to as the "McQ limit" and often misspelled "McQuarry," was named after George F. McQuary, a frequent contributor to alt.fan.warlord.

Email should be plaintext

You should add a way to generate a plaintext signature that looks nice

Thanks for suggestion. Added to TODO.

Cool, a plaintext sig generator would be very welcome

There, all set! :-)

it's dash dash space!

Outlook Express had a bug for years where it would correctly add the signature seperator, but then strip whitespace and strip the trailing space.

Usenet used to hate it.

I added the space, I believe HN trimmed it.

I might use this, because, internet. :-)

Hosting images on dropbox might be an issue. Maybe you should use data url so the signature is "self-hosted".

What if Richard Stallman wants to contact me?
