Five email tics we’d love for you to lose


Courtesy of Merlin Mann at 43Folders.

  1. The liberal use of the “VERY HIGH PRIORITY!!!” flag
  2. The 18-line footer about all the allegedly Bad Things that will happen to me if I ever reveal the contents of your privileged, confidential (and unencrypted) message
  3. The unrequested press release (and the serial ignoring of the “Unsubscribe” I sent you for the previous seven press releases)
  4. The graphical background, font and table tags, and remaining 14k of HTML cruft associated with every. single. message. you’ve ever sent.
  5. The including of my — plus 98 other strangers’ — personal email addresses in the “To:” line of your seventh friendly reminder about somebody’s performance.
