I downloaded a 760 page PDF I found at the Companies House website and can only find 2 references to e-mail there, neither relevant to this subject.
Looking at the first page, it's entitled "Companies Act 2006 CHAPTER 46"

Page 4.
Schedule 1 - Regulation 6.
1.—(1) Section 349(a) of the 1985 Act (company’s name to appear in its correspondence etc) is amended as follows.
(2) In subsection (1)—
(a) in paragraph (a), after “business letters” insert “and order forms”;
(b) after paragraph (b) insert—
“(ba) on all its websites,”.
(3) In subsection (3)—
(a) in paragraph (a), after “business letter” insert “or order form”;
(b) omit the “or” at the end of that paragraph;
(c) after that paragraph insert—
“(aa) causes or authorises the appearance of a website of the company on which the company’s name is not so mentioned, or”.
(4) After subsection (4) insert—
“(5) References in this section to a document of any type are to a document of that type in hard copy, electronic or any other form.”.
Also those in the know say that any email that could be construed as a "business letter" will be included in this, and it's easier to put a blanket sig on than deciding which email is in and which is out.
Not explicitly stating email but that's it..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I was under the impression that if you had a link to your website, and your website had the relevant required information your were fine...
I may be wrong thoughComment

Who's actually policing this and how effective are they likely to be?
Laws are useless unless they're enforced. I don't think I have to worry about the SAS kicking my door in because I've neglected some of these details on my website and emails."If it floats, flies, or f***s, lease it." - Evel Knievel when he wasn't jumping buses or womenComment
