| | Signature block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A signature block (often abbreviated as signature, sig block, sig file,.sig, dot sig, or just sig) is a block of text automatically appended at the bottom of an e-mail message, Usenet article, or forum post. |
 | | Information usually contained in a sig block includes the poster's name, phone number and email address, along with other contact details if required, such as URLs for sites owned or favoured by the author. |
 | | This latter prescription, which goes by many names, including "sig dashes", "signature cut line", and "sig-marker", allows software to automatically mark or remove the sig block as the receiver desires. |
