Why do people put their email addresses in their email signatures?

Asked by xxii (3329points) October 22nd, 2010

I know a lot of people whose email signatures go like:

John Smith
(Position), (Organisation)
123–456-7890 (cell)
098–765-4321 (work)
john@xyz.com

Why do people include their email address? Since the message is being sent from their email, doesn’t that mean the recipient already has a record of their email address, and knows how to reach the sender by email?

Using Fluther

or

Using Email

Separate multiple emails with commas.
We’ll only use these emails for this message.
