   I think the metadata about from where the post has been sent should be handled less intrusively.
   Compare it with "Sent from my iPhone" or "Sent from my Samsung Galaxy whatever" that are default - I _always_ reply to people mailing those things with "Stop sending me advertisement" or similar. :)

      @mmn @andstatus, I generally agree with that. When iPhones were still rare and one friend's messages had included that footer for 6 months, I started wondering how he could possibly _still_ think he needed to brag about to novelty of having an iPhone or being able to send mail from it. I think I sent him a reply at some point: "OK. Glad that makes you happy. Why do you keep telling me about it!?"

         @mmn @andstatus, years later, K-9 Mail's mildly self-deprecating default .signature finally enlightened me: "Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity". It's basically saying "Sorry if this message sucks, I had to send it with sucky software"—I like that; I would have immediately understood if the iPhone added something like *that* to its users' messages.

         @mmn @andstatus, I almost junked a printed greeting-card from the same friend, too: thought it was a junk-mail Apple ad when I pulled it from the envelope and just saw a folded shiny piece of paper with "Made on a Mac" + an #Apple logo on it. I just had the wrong side facing up when I opened it.

            @mmn @andstatus, though... the next time I sent out greeting-cards myself, I did try following #Apple's example and putting a `Made with !Debian: #GNU + #Linux' advert on the back as an #experiment: http://status.hackerposse.com/conversation/434

      @mmn @andstatus, especially since I didn't initially get that the reason the remark was there was Apple just adding it automatically....
