How to Remove a Tag Line From an Email

Remove your signature from outgoing emails.

An email tagline, typically called a signature, is an optional feature offered by many email providers, including Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail. When this feature is enabled, a small block of text is automatically added at the end of every outgoing email message. Although the method of manually removing an email tagline from individual messages is generally the same no matter which email service you use, the method of automatically removing a tagline from all outgoing messages varies by email service.
