Details in signature for email entries

Options
Afternoon all, I just have a quick question. Sorry if it has been asked before now.

When sending an email to take part in a competition, and you have to send your details as part of your entry. Does anyone know if having your details in your email signature counts, or not?

Many Thanks

    Yes - It counts.

    The recipient can't distinguish between what is in your signature and what is in the body of the email. As long as you include all the information requested somewhere, your entry will be fine.

    Cheers guys
