Not a whole lot, if you can read them and the email is in a compressed form
on the harddrive. Otherwise, they are unreadable and take up more room than
the body of the email takes up. Plus, in those places there you pay for
internet access by the minute, long sigs only serve to increase your
internet bill.
It's not just sigs either that people tend to complain about, it's including
the entire email you are replying to in the body of your reply. I have seen
emails with 4 lines of text and 100 lines of sigs and listserv
advertisements. For instance, in this email i included 14 lines from your
email and deleted 29 lines. Others may include those 29 lines in their
replies and irritate Jiri. I'll prolly write a filter to remove them one day
so at least i don't haveto look at Yahoo ads (not your fault, Mike, that's
*not* a poke at you).
