The problem I had with "[Your Site Here] Mark Baker" was that I couldn't
figure out what it was. [Your Site Here] looks more like a field you forgot
to fill in than a company name. If you really need your company name up
there, "Mark Baker, Your Site Here" might be the better choice. I would
still think that a good signature file should be sufficient.

E-mail clients really should make a point of displaying the organization
field more prominently.
