Does anyone specify their pronouns in email?

Just had an email from a person with first name Alison. Underneath it said pronouns she/her. No shit - you're a woman. I deduced that from your first name but I don't actually care what gender or whatever you claim to be we're just doing business. Don't know whether the pronoun bit is the organisation policy or something she chooses to add.

Had to answer professionally but was so tempted to say if you want to bring pronouns in to the equation wouldn't it be way cooler to be them/they

@Sharon Well yes, that’s certainly one way of doing it. Also, my understanding of the usage in French, German and Italian has always been that Madame/Mademoiselle Frau/Fraulein Signora/Signorina are principally distinctions by age rather than status, though I may be wrong.
@MartinII Indeed, in France, Mademoiselle is no longer a legal appellation , people tend to use it for children though, it's still an ingrained habit.
