For a start you could lose the email address. What's the point of
having it there when it's in the mail header for everyone to see
anyway? Put your UIN on the same line as your URL, and you lose an
extra line.

If people want to join these mailing lists it's pretty easy to find
them by searching eGroups.

In my opinion you should have one of these sigs or the other, not both
on the same mail. That would cut your signature down by a further 3
lines, taking it to an acceptable 4 :)
