Five Email Habits To Lose
1. The liberal use of the “VERY HIGH PRIORITY!!!” flag
2. The 18-line signature about all the 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 friendly reminder about Tyler’s birthday party
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Please everyone stop doing the stuff in the list above...
It pisses the hell out of everyone...

Subzero Blue By Email 10 Ways To Lose A Job 7 Habits of Highly Ineffective People Pay for Email ? Gmail : Free Gig of EmailAh this is so true! and I always felt it was such an invasion of privacy to include your entire address book in the "to" field... then I'd have total strangers adding me and including me in their stupid chain emails and forwards.
Can I add one more point while I'm venting here? ;) how some there are still people who fall for that stupid "your hotmail account will be deleted" email?!! and guess what the stupidest thing is, they send it to your GMAIL account!! Aaaahhh hotmail should use this email to delete the account of anyone who forwards it!! and to sue them!!!! common sense is not so common after all!
