Female personal-status-specific honorifics (Miss, Mrs.) used to be essential elements of any signature block, at least for written correspondence, in the days when persons honored one another. Lack of such an honorific implied not female. Now it's just 'Hi $first_name'. I'm glad I'm on the way out. Jeffrey Race
