Dear Joshua, Cheers!

The article was interesting and useful for our daily mail routines.

I had a thought of attending the training session but unfortunately because of workload I was not able to turn up and got upset too.

But now this article had given me a plenty of information. I feel I had learned something new thing today and it’s going to change my style of EMAILs from now.

Thanks a ton and keep doing the great work…

Regards
Kavitha Sridhar

Thumbs up Joshua. I’m gonna send this link to my colleagues! BCC of course. TIP, but you already know that, create a contact in your contact list called Undisclosed Recipients, send a distributed message to that contact and Bcc your distribution list recipients! don’t forget to include a post scriptum indicating that you sent a distributed mail message. This way you can keep your colleagues or peers’ email address private!

Hey Joshua, man thanks for those tips especially the Bcc, always wondered how I could “hide” people’s addresses.

I have often wondered what use the teaching of language and grammar in schools serves if people continue such horrible habits as you mentioned. This applies not just to e-mail messages but is really much worse if you have a mobile phone and receive short messages or text on them. Thumbs up for your article. It would be lovely to see what change, if any, such awareness would stimulate among people once the message spreads.

Hi Joshua,

I have been receiving your mails on good communication and they are really helpful. Thanks so much! We all think we know everything there is about emails but most of us often wind up committing the same mistakes over and over again. Thanks again for compiling this useful list.

Dear Joshua,
Each and every article of yours has been great, so is this. I have been doing at least 14 of such mistakes unconsciously. Thanks for this, going forward I am not gonna repeat any. God bless you.

Is there any article which talks about gaining or regaining lost reputation in the workplace? Please reply me if there is any.

Thanks and regards,
Abdul.

Thanks Joshua for your remarks because we never know our faults until someone points it out to us. This is a good remark and I believe people should take notice.

Thanks a lot Joshua. I have read some email etiquette points before, but yours are more comprehensive. I especially like the ones about attachments, poor subject heading and excessive capitalization. Great job.
