SiliconGlen, Scotland. Tartan Tech Talk.

I got a mail from Scottish Widows recently (an investment company). Their email signature and disclaimer was 68 (sixty-eight) lines long.

This is certainly a record for a real email signature that I've received. Has anyone received a longer one?

I tend to use Zen and the Art of the Internet as a guide, published January 1992.

For a usenet signature (and generally people use the same for both email and usenet), the guide recommends four lines maximum. Also the signature should be preceded by the four characters dash-dash-space-newline thus:

"-- "
(without the quotes)

So at 68 lines, I think Scottish Widows are a tad on the long side. Can anyone beat this?
