In our recent paper [2], the study of the kernel associated with a singular integral led us to another question, relating to the boundary behaviour of the sign of a harmonic function in a half-plane. In this paper, the possible existence of sign oscillations of the Poisson integral $P(f)$ in the half-plane along rays is related to regularity properties of the boundary function $f$. This allows us to obtain a result of Fatou type for the sign of $P(f)$, under a regularity assumption that we prove to be optimal.
