(Basically I ask if any previous information needs to be included so the person knows what the heck I'm talking about in my email.)<br /><br />Honest email I received just a week ago. "Yes, please. Thank you." and a name. That was it! I didn't even remember emailing the person much less what I had asked them.

As stated, however, it's not nearly so messy as an inbox full of unconnected messages whose authors you can't recall. *grin*Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-51031925713581418442011-02-03T19:31:31.271-05:002011-02-03T19:31:31.271-05:00I live for the e-mail thread.

In gmail, for example, the mail displays as the current message on top, the most recent reply below that, etc. etc. all the way back to the initial message, and then below <i>that</i> is the box where you type your reply. Normally gmail also hides all but the current message, which is fine. But sometimes that feature breaks, and when it does you're scrolling all the way up to see what was said, and then scrolling back down to reply, which musses everything up.<br /><br />I always send the threads with the e-mail, but when a conversation goes on for too long and/or with too many replies, it can get so cumbersome that I just delete everything and go tabula rasa.<br /><br />On the other hand, gmail is also set up to display your messages as conversations rather than individual e-mails. So, maybe what you really need is an e-mail reader with a similar feature? ^_^LupLunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569316994425614394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-74171353497481766442011-02-03T10:51:54.355-05:002011-02-03T10:51:54.355-05:00It's good to know for the future.

Instead, I would've started a new email stating I was sending something you requested.
