Also, people that don't know how to use reply-all. They use it when they don't 
need to, or don't use it when they should. 


Also, people that start "new" threads on mailing lists by replying to an 
existing e-mail and then changing all of the content in the message to be 
something else. That jacks up the threading.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT: Email Etiquette 

So I've noticed a slide recently of what I would consider 'Email 
Etiquette' Customers send an email with no subject line. Or reply to 
an old email, with a new topic. EG: our billing system sends out 
automated invoices. A customer will just reply to one of those emails, 
weeks later, with a service issue. Doesn't bother to change the subject 
line or anything. Another common email is just an email with the text 
"my internet is down" No name/address/phone, anything else 
identifiable. sometimes the email they use is in our system and we can 
find it that way, other times not. 

At some point I must have learned how to use email, I'm guessing people 
no longer learn that. 

And don't get me started on the people that text the main office 
number. I mean, we do get the SMS messages, but again, usually it's 
just a text like 'Internet is not working' With nothing else to know 
who it is.
