- Stop including Word documents that you could have easily pasted in the e-mail.
- When you are organizing a party, please BCC the invite, I don’t really care about most your friends (who I don’t even know) telling me they can’t make it.
- Stop e-mailing me back with “Thanks”. Only e-mail me back if you have more questions or if there are any problems.
- When you change e-mail address, don’t inform me from your old address, send it from your new e-mail address!
- We’ve been e-mailing each other for a while now, you can stop being formal. Stop opening with my name and stop signing off with yours, I already know who we are.
- If you’re going to have to use a signature, please keep it short without any fruity fonts, colors or logos.
- Why include your email address in your signature? I received the mail from you, so I already got your e-mail address.
- When resending an e-mail or attachment, please use the same subject so the e-mail thread stays intact.
- CAPS IS CONSIDERED YELLING, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW!
- Stop asking if I got you’re email. Yes, I got it. Did I read it? That’s the question you should have asked.

If you’re gonna leave all the previous conversation in a reply, put your reply on *top* of the email, don’t make me scroll down to see your answer.

Re #4, I think it’s a good idea to email from the old one or both, as many people don’t use Gmail’s SPAM filter and have to use whitelists and stuff to ensure emails get through.
I agree arah, “top posting” is more convenient as long as you’re not mailing a large group of people who may not remember the entire message thread, and may benefit from reading previous messages in chronological order.

Haha, I love the hate and agree with most. I kinda like #5 though… I think it’s a little bit of courtesy to include a “hey snapple,” or “yo flapple,” introduction and a sign off.
And as long as it’s not a ridiculous signature *cough* sole tech employees *cough* I think it’s ok.
With much love and affection,

I used to not put my email in .sigs, but got tired of people asking what it was AFTER I already emailed them. Yes, I know WE all know it’s in the header, but you would be amazed how many people don’t know that. So: it’s my .sig.
