Do you have the option of turning the signature block off on an individual email? that would solve the redundancy problem.

You can also style your sig block so that it's obviously autogenerated (different color, smaller size), and then sign with your first name. I have seen people just sign with "sincerely" because their name is in the sig block, but I personally find that a little lazy.

Informal emails I either don't sign or I sign with my initials. (which then occasionally leads to response emails _addressed_ to my initials ["Dear LGI,"], which I find amusing.)
