Re:Why does Outlook map Ctrl+F to Forward instead of Find? by drzaiusapelord on Tuesday July 15, 2014 @01:32PM (#8037797)
There's also a common sig about "Please think twice about printing this email" with a wingwings of a little tree. That turns into some plain character as well. Maybe G? I kept wondering why everyone was ending their emails with G.

I also wonder how much energy is collectively wasted sending that extra line in every email. It must add up to something from a storage, energy use, rendering, etc perspective. I wonder if it offsets any behavior changes that may help the environment by those who actually don't print. I doubt that little message is going to stop anyone from printing.

On at least one occasion I've printed an email and ended up using an extra page because of the extended "Please think twice" section.

The character is P - until recently I thought it was supposed to be an initial, since the sentence begins with "Please"
