I agree. I also think people are beginning to imagine email to be the same as things like IM, SMS, etc. Obviously it's not.
I can take my original question/statement and expand it to include instructions in email. More often than not (not an exaggeration this time) people don't read my instruction properly. Even if they are bullet pointed or numbered. Considering the trend of comments in this thread, are people expecting a complex problem to be solved in two lines? Clearly not. So when you get a long email, it's long for a reason. Alternatively, perhaps failure to follow instructions is a different phenomenon.
