In related ranting,
What is it with companies and bloody email signatures? Most of the emails I receive contain a body that's just a single line of text, followed by half a page of someone's personal biography with little pictures of envelopes and telephones and some nonsense about the green issues of printing out emails, then the company's automatic boilerplate text which is a full page of pseudolegal bollocks that probably isn't legally binding and no-one ever reads ever anyway.
And, breathe.
some nonsense about the green issues of printing out emails
Which, if you do need to print the email, doubles the number of pieces of paper.
I often send very, very short emails. No opening or closing. Sometimes I just send a subject line and no text. I blame Twitter.
At work, we need some staff training on email. We still have staff sending email with no subject line, or misusing reply/reply-to-all.
While I'm on, we also need to remove the '!' key from the keyboard of whoever updates our Facebook page !!!
I tend to go with
"hugs, kisses and every inch of my love
Hora"
On an automatic signature thingy its "Kind regards" but it depends if the email is asking/telling someone to do something then I change it to "Many thanks" or Cheers if I am more familiar with them.
Many thanks/thanks/cheers/ta
Depending on who/how formal!
*insert name of recipient*
*body of message goes here*
Thanks
*your name goes here*
is usually how mine go.
I like to use comic sans or similar to make it look like I signed the email with my own fair hand
Kind Regards,
Many Thanks, (which thinking about it sound a bit like when Billy Ray pretends to be African in Trading Places).
If I know them well or it's internal I put "Cheers,"
One thing that really winds me up is people who have "Best Regards, Bob" as part of their auto signature. They then write an e-mail using a different colour text and still sign off with "Thanks, Bob" even though they have it as part of their auto signature.

Another thing... my email address is "Nicholas", but I always sign it off as "Nick", really irritates me when people reply "thanks for this Nicholas...", one person even called me Richard. Very odd.
I know, I know... it really is beautiful, isn't it?

'Muchly' was the sign off in an Email that I received yesterday 👿
Pray for me,

Mainly 'cheers', 'thanks' if it's more formal
'Cheers N Gone'
Some, they call me......

I mostly sign off with a 'thanks'. Way too many people I come into contact with at work, sign off with 'Best' and I don't get it at all. What does it mean? Where did it come from? Who started it?! It's like best wishes but they can't be arsed to finish the sentence 🙄
Regards, Best Wishes, All the Best, depending on circumstances.

Something appropriate to the content of the email and recipient. Plus masses of regulatory information more often than not. I have a 2 line sign off for internal non client stuff.

Pretty much this although I tend to initial stuff if it's informal.
What annoys me is all those email signatures asking you to 'think before printing this email'. I don't need to print it, I already have a place to keep my emails. It's called Outlook.

If you're external you might see your name and my name, but none of this regards shiz. waste of my life.
'Kind Regards' from me because I have to put something and I genuinely couldn't give two shits what it is or what someone else thinks of it...surely to god nobody actually pays attention to this stuff
Kind Regards

Bit old fashioned, usually depends on the recipient and tone of the message. But I sometimes add this footer:
