E-mail Forwarding Reflects on You!

January 20, 2010 by Judith · Leave a Comment 

With every e-mail that I send, I know that it could be forwarded to others without my knowledge. Even though you should never forward an e-mail sent to you to a third party without the original Sender’s permission, people do it all the time. What you forward and how, speaks volumes about you as a [...]

E-mailing Visible Addresses

October 7, 2009 by Judith · Leave a Comment 

Is is O.K. to e-mail an e-mail address visible on a Web site? That depends. If you are e-mailing questions in regard to the Web site’s topic, service or product, that is fine – that is why the e-mail address is there. However, if you are sending them e-mail about something you can commercially [...]

NSFW = Not Safe For Work?

September 22, 2009 by Judith · 2 Comments 

I was interviewed recently on my view in regard to the use of the acronym NSFW.

I get several requests each day from mothers, daughters, fathers and sons, friends and associates about how to nicely ask someone they know, like or love (possibly you) to please stop forwarding emails they didn’t ask for or are not interested in. Unfortunately, there is no nice way. No matter how nice, how [...]

5 Rules for Forwarding Email

October 13, 2008 by Judith · 4 Comments 

Forwarding of emails is one of the topics I get contacted about the most. And, one which also causes hurt feelings and misunderstandings more than any other topic. Daily, emails flow in from onliners asking about a “nice way” of telling someone they care about, relative, friend or associate to not forward attachments, chain emails, [...]

A site visitor writes: How to tell the people on my lists: that exposing so many email addresses in their “From” field is dangerous to those addies and terribly annoying for recipients who have to scroll down interminably to get to the heart of the message? and just as annoying leaving up to 10 [...]
