I used to do this but someone on this forum, somewhere, told me that sometimes signatures are stripped from e-mails by the recipient (sorry don't understand this as such) and also if I was sending an e-mail with just the signature since that was all that was needed it would be seen as a blank e-mail and rejected as spam. Not sure if this is true but am winning slightly more since I stopped doing it. Which may just be a coincidence.

What I do now - I sent myself an e-mail with my details in but left it in drafts. Then I keep it opened but minimised on my e-mail tab and simply pop it up and down and copy and paste when needed.

regarding name and addy in an e mail on hotmail/outlook you can set a template up on the right with your details so ready to click on as needed

I use text replacement on my iPad, so I have it set up with all the common phrases (name, address, email, phone number, twitter handle etc.), so that I only have to type 2 characters and then either return or space, for it to write out the whole thing for me.

So I press
hc it writes Happy Comper
00 it writes 0765432100
2f it writes 2 Funny Street
ln it writes London
s1 it writes SE1 1ES
2s it writes 2 Funny Street London SE1 1ES
h2 it writes happycomping@email.com
@h it writes @happycomper

(Not my real details, obviously!)

Works well for emails, rafflecopter, forms that don't like the iPads built in autofill. Also, works for websites that don't like autofill or see it as script/bot behaviour etc.
