Writing the entire email in the subject line. That gets the delete button really fast. I'd also like to extend this list to text messaging. Some people just can't figure out the shortcuts and makes for a long read of 2 sentences. I agree with Sam. Writing the entire email in the subject line. That gets the delete button really fast.

Regards is for lawyers after sending some legal document. Choose something more lighthearted, or better yet, don't sign it at all, since I already know it's you -- and even if you didn't, you probably included your signature file anyhow!

Are you kidding me???? This is the WORST thing anyone could do! Writing everything in the bloody subject line, leaving the body of the email blank! This not just irks and irritates me, but angers me beyond my limit! Those who don't know how to email should bloody keep their thick heads out of it and stick to pen and paper. Shame on you!

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.

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.

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.
