In fact, my corporate email > address has no hits in google. To clarify I bit, I was talking about using corporate addresses for dealing with corporate matters (i.e., when we use Debian at work). Those rules you refer to do not magically go away just because you use your personal mail account or some anonymous web mail service. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

As a freelance consultant, my personal mail domain is the only domain that is going to stay. I have been working in more than ten places since I registered Zugschlus.de. Also, as a matter of privacy for my clients, I tend to use zugschlus.de as a mail address even when dealing with an issue that happened to surface at my current work place.

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".

I dont think corporatelessness in email addresses is requested by anyone. cheers, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
