Several RFCs (request for comments) make statements about signatures.
3.11 PGP [...] Another case of the PGP keyword occurs in "clear-signing" a message. That is, sending an un-encrypted message with a digital signature providing authentication and (in some environments) non-deniability. Encoding: 201 Text, 8 PGP Signature, 4 Text Signature This example indicates a 201 line message, followed by an 8 line (in its encoded form) PGP detached signature. [...] Continuing the example, the PGP signature is then followed by a 4 line "ordinary" signature section. 3.12 Signature The signature keyword indicates that the section contains an Internet message signature. An Internet message signature is an area of an Internet message (usually located at the end) which contains a single line or multiple lines of characters. The signature may comprise the sender's name or a saying the sender is fond of. It is normally inserted automatically in all outgoing message bodies. The encoding keyword "Signature" must always be nested and follow another keyword. Encoding: 14 Text, 3 Text Signature A usenet news posting program should generate an encoding showing which is the text and which is the signature area of the posted message.
5.4.3. Using electronic mail: Users limited to electronic mail connectivity can access the archie servers by sending mail [...] The electronic mail interface to an archie server recognizes a subset of the commands described in Using Telnet. [...] quit nothing past this point is interpreted. Useful when a signature is automatically appended at the end of your mail messages.
5.5.3. Address: ADDRESS The <ADDRESS> element contains such information as address, signature and authorship, often at the beginning or end of the body of a document. Typically, the <ADDRESS> element is rendered in an italic typeface and may be indented. Example of use: <ADDRESS> Newsletter editor<BR> J.R. Brown<BR> JimquickPost News, Jimquick, CT 01234<BR> Tel (123) 456 7890 </ADDRESS>
