Certain things about email bother me.
1. I always request a Read Receipt.
Some of my regular email correspondents send one, others never do so I’m left wondering if I got filtered to their Spam folder or something else went wrong. How hard is it to send a Read Receipt for crying out loud? It doesn’t mean you have to answer me, just let me know you got it. On occasion my ISP’s email isn’t very reliable.
2. Answering emails in a linear fashion.
I think that emails should flow from top to bottom in a logical fashion. If sending a reply I really do try to put it on the bottom so that it makes sense to read it from the top, the earliest message to the latest.
Where it really gets confusing is where I’ll have correspondents that always put replies on the top while I put mine on the bottom.
Why settle for the default option in some email software? Take a second to scroll down and put the new message on the bottom.
That’s two gripes that I can think of off of the top of my head. Does anyone have anything else to add? Maybe the way I ‘do’ email bothers you. :^0 Have at me.
