Is that "Sent from my iPhone" message starting to get on your nerves? By default, every email sent from your iPhone gets appended by a signature specified in Settings > Mail > Signature. To clear out this signature entirely, delete all the text from the Signature text field. Your emails will lose that "Sent from my iPhone" tag.
Of course, if signatures don't particularly bother you, you might want to add a more personalized quote or even some contact information (although preferably not using unnecessary ASCII art). Or, you can put on your antipersonnel hat and start messing with people's minds, e.g. "Sent from my Blueberry." How do you intend to sign your emails?

I liked Rob Corddry's ideas on suicidegirls:
-Sent from my iPhone
-Sent from my iPhone, bitch.
-Sent from my $600 iPhone
-Swnt elom m iphon
-Sent from my ipwn
-You’ve been iPhoned
-I have more money than you
-Sent from the Future
-I have an iPhone. Now will you fuck me?

The default was cool for a couple of days but then I just started to feel like a d-bag. But I do like that people know I'm away from my desk so I changed mine to "sent from my portable telephone machine." Can modesty and iPhone be friends? I believe so.

something tells me that due to this being the same thing you do in any mail app, erica, who just cant get enough iphone posts in, set hers, thought it was cute and needed to show people. so what to do? create a post on TUAW, because it is essential.
call it a tip if you want, but its no more so than say changing your icon in ichat.

Disgusting as this question is... has anyone figured if you can HTML signature this puppy? I'm sure if I had some copy/paste functionality I could get around it, but so far, no dice.

I just use my standard email signature:
I gotta tell ya, at this point, the length of this conversation is way out of proportion to my interest in it.
/bonus points if you know where that came from.

With all the hype it sure looks like bragging. I change mine to say "Sent from a small mobile device designed in Cupertino"

I'm just waiting for Apple to enable per-account signatures. As it stands, it is tough to use when I receive both work and personal email and want different signatures for each.

I received my iPhone as a surprise birthday gift from my wife, so I e-mailed my family & friends the next day with a note saying only that my wife is amazing and that I had an incredible birthday. The kicker was the signature, which caused such numerous replies as "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" and "iJealous" and "Your wife is AWESOME!"
Otherwise, I've added a dashed line above the signature, so that it better separates from the body of the e-mail. And I'll keep the whole thing going for a few more months or until I really start to look like a tool, whichever comes first.

That is usually so coworkers know you are away from your pc email. I guess like setting your away status on AIM, etc.
