uh huh. good idea as always BUT saying and then getting whoever to
co-operate?....sometimes you might as well be talking to a brick wall. Some
people on my e-mail list NEVER do anything but send stuff. No personal
notes, and they don't respond to personal notes TO them, they just send
stuff. I ended up creating a mail rule and folder for those and every so
often I dump that folder.

Hi Christy, fellow members,
Below is an email on netiqutte I keep on hand to send to folks who don't=
understand why we need to have some guidelines.
I also attempt to inform new users, and hopefully set a good example, by=
teaching them how to use email correctly.
If I'm going to send someone an attachment I will send them an email before=
time with the file name and size so that they can be aware of it.
Here is a good site explaining why we should trim our post to a group.
http://www.onlinenetiquette.com/courtesy6.html
Always edit out unnecessary information from a post you are responding to.
Don't just hit the reply button and start typing. Edit out unimportant=
parts of the email you are responding to and respond point by point. This=
is accomplished by deleting information from the previous mail that is not=
necessary to continuing the conversation. At the very least edit out email=
headers and signature files. Lazy is hitting reply and sending a one word=
answer.... please. Is your time more important than those you are sending=
to? Aren't your associates or friends worth taking the time to make=
communicating with you easy?
Especially when email conversations on the same topic are ongoing. Why=
would you possibly want to have copies of the last 3-4 (or more) emails=
added to the growing list of back and forth? You make the person you are=
communicating with look for your response amongst all the text.
By not editing your email, your lack of understanding in regards to smooth=
communications, bandwidth and trying to keep the online environment not=
overloaded with unnecessary noise will be apparent. Edit/delete what is=
not necessary for the conversation to continue.
Leave sufficient content so that the thread, (subject) does not get lost.
If you are sending an email, on a new topic, don't forget to fill in the=
'subject'.
This will save a lot of time when someone tries to search for your=
particular message, as a search for 'no subject' may bring up a lot of=
messages, or none. <g>
As a courtesy to your fellow Netizens, please edit down your posts keeping=
only what will contribute to the ongoing conversation.
