A large - number of users is against having such unprofessionally looking, rude, - obnoxious and useless signature enabled by default. Let the user choose - whether he wants to boast about their OS. The signature should be added - only if the user approves that, since a lot of people have many - different reasons not to include this signature. + Rationale: Evolution definitely shouldn't add this signature by default. + A large number of users are against having such an unprofessional + looking, rude, obnoxious and useless signature enabled by default. + Evolution should let the user choose whether they wish to boast about + their Operating System.
