Rule #6 is a key far too many people miss today. Unless you're using email to document something, pick up the phone. I've observed people trying to run project via email... Rule #6 should be the next bumper sticker....Knarlydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952971231305788558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-31950578045024710672007-11-15T13:28:00.000-08:002007-11-15T13:28:00.000-08:00I use Outlook rules to assign flags based on sende...I use Outlook rules to assign flags based on sender and CC list.

I think it would be very interesting to attempt to automate at least some of this, so that one could at least look at incoming messages with some type of rank assigned by the mail reader. I have often thought about setting up an outlook filter for this (I think you're using something other than outlook though).<BR/><BR/>A wizard of this type that would help business users rank the importance of messages in their inboxes would have widespread appeal.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133360359166280759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-72552238090886907062007-11-15T07:51:00.000-08:002007-11-15T07:51:00.000-08:00PS.

The subject line ought to describe the justification for the email, the topic and the action required -- all in 60 characters or less.JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-24896152911299602912007-11-15T07:33:00.000-08:002007-11-15T07:33:00.000-08:00Thank you very much for writing this blog!

Please do reference anything you write for CW here so I don't miss it.<BR/><BR/>One suggestion: when you reference "one in a series" as in this post could you link to the prior post? Alternatively, if you use tags we can navigate themes or series by their tags.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, if you're using XP/Vista I heartily recommend Windows Live Writer for writing and posting. Unfortunately there's nothing similarly excellent for OS X. (Ecto 3.x comes close but is buggy with Bloglines).JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.com
