Well a lot email is hard to read for me: - I find a lot sentences / abbreviations hard to read - top posting - subjects no changing with the topic - I got cc'ed halfway a thread - some mail are 4-5 times (cc'ing / crossposting) So I know I miss messages where I could serve. My suggestions (not much news): - no top posting - reply to list (less cc's) - less lists / crossposting - no "me too" responces - avoid abbreviations - use simple to understand English Actually I am at the point to unsubscribe from most sugarlab mailinglists to keep my inbox more free for other projects. Generally if don't respond in less than 24 hours I may assume that missed the email. 2ct Marten > I would also like to suggest to those colleagues who are subscribed to > the mailing lists but are not being able to keep up with them > regularly, to set up a rule in their mail client that highlights those > emails that include their addresses in CC or that mention their names. > This is a simple step that will allow them to keep up with the > subjects they care most about without forcing them to peruse all > emails in all mailing lists. > > Regards, > > Tomeu > -- http://www.voedselbankleiden.nl needs your help! http://martenvijn.nl http://bsd.wifisoft.org/nek/ http://opencommunitycamp.org OCC 2010 _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
