Hints
1. Before clicking the SEND button, take a moment to check (really
look at) the following:
a. The TO field - Is it really going where you want it? It should
be addressed to 6packlist@mfasco.com
Or, if you are sending a private message to the originator make
sure you have his/her address not the list address.
b. The SUBJECT field - Clean it before sending. It gets cluttered
up with prepended junk. Every reply gets a RE: put in front
of the Subject even if it already begins with one. Eventually,
your reply may look like:
Subject: RE: Re: RE: RE: Re: original subject
c. If you are changing the subject, change the SUBJECT field to
reflect the new subject.
2. No more mystery messages: In the message body, tell us whom it is
to and from. Since most messages have a return address of
6packlist@mfasco.com and are addressed to the Blah Blah User
Group,it's often unclear who's involved in this exchange. Giving the
names will make it clear. Here's an example:
Bob,
This is a very short message to illustrate
how we can make it clear whom the message
is intended for and who sent it.
Matt
What about messages to ALL? I guess they can say ALL or have no
To entry.
3. Strip multiple footers and excess quotes. Messages can gather
substantial debris in just a few exchanges. Every reply gets
another footer appended to it, even if one is (or more are) already
present. After a few replies, you can have quite a collection of
identical footers. Please delete all of them before sending.
Rest assured that the system will not forget to add another.
Same problem with excess quotes. Can we keep them to a minimum by
deleting all but the few needed words or lines? In many cases,
we might be able to get rid of all the quotes without losing
meaning, clarity, or continuity.
