Why have a second email signature

In most instances people use one email signature for new and forwarded messages. The same signature is also used for replies. This works, but it’s not really ideal.

There are instances where you do not really need to give out a lot information about your company in as part of your signature. Let’s say you are replying to someone. Chances are high that they already have your email address, your address and other elements in your email signature.
