Include your contact details at the end of the email
Use a HTML email signature to end your email with your contact details. It's a great way to provide your details to your contacts in a non-intrusive way. Instead of having to inform each contact of your contact details in your email, an email signature automatically puts them at the end of the email for you, just like a digital business card. Should your email contacts ever need to find this information, it's right at their fingertips in any email you have sent them.
Long Disclaimers
If you don't send private information over the email, consider if you need a disclaimer at all. If you do need one, keep it as short as possible. Even write out a few lines, and then link to an online version.
