“Not everyone can open a file with the .odt extension.”

Why not? Are you saying following netiquette also makes it mandatory to buy Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows?

Great article! I am hoping you can expand at some point on bcc’s. We have had a lot of problems with them here in the work place. I don’t think it is ever a good thing to use this option as a way of covering yourself. I have seen it backfire too many times. Besides, it’s sneeky. If you have good commmuncation in your workplace, there is no need for bcc’s. One of our ethics people at work spoke about this negatively as well.

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

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.
