That stems from a European directive on business letters, so it's a concern in Germany as well. The downside is that once you add such information to email, you might turn it into a business letter, which creates other issues (people need to be properly authorized to make such communication on the company's behalf, you need to arrange for long-term archival &c &c). That's why adding such a footer is somewhat controversial. > That went on a bit too long. Why do you ask? I was just curious about proper etiquette. I'm still a bit worried that corporatelessness is implicitly requested by the community. Personally, I wouldn't want to see people using corporate mail on official announcement lists, and I suspect many of us feel similar, but it's not clear to me that this policy extends to other lists. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
