A Few Email Guidelines from Me to You
Posted on June 14, 2004
No this isn't another one of those "Man I really hate
Spam" posts but simply a note for family, friends, acquaintances and
the occasional internet stalker that sends me email.
I'm getting sick of having to sort through my Junk
email folder everyday (oops) so I've decided to heighten the level of spam filtering and automatically delete detected spam or even have it just bounce back to the sender. If I have not replied to a message and either the message has been bounced back to you or you feel it might have been detected as spam simply resend the mail but try to make it well, less spammy.
For example; If you want to tell me about this great herbal alternative to Viagra that you've been using don't call it "viagra" as this usually results in a flag going up. Instead spice it up a bit. You know, call it V-i-A-g-R-a or mix in some numbers or something. Don't be lazy, There are 600,426,974,379,824,381,952 ways to spell viagra people!
If you want to fill me in on a surefire investment you learned about try to refrain from using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. I can't stress this enough people, it looks like your YELLING AT ME, and that tends to frighten the unsure investor.
Forget about all the whole "cheap online Canadian prescriptions" thing. I'm Canadian and I live in Japan so you�re really wasting your time on me. And puh-leeze just let me say the term "online" is so 1990's and makes you look a little desperate for adjectives.
That's all I can think of right now. So know this, just because I don't reply or your message is bounced doesn't mean I don't love you.
Leave a comment.
I use 9 email addresses and get, spam, spam, spam. And also virusmails, virusmails, virusmails. It's unbelievable. But it doesn't drive me crazy because a use eprompter (Oh, this is not a spam advertisment!). Eprompter was created to check several emails at the same time, but it's also perfect to delete very fast mails you don't want to read without launching your email program our web mail's site. Take a look http://www.eprompter.com -- Repeat: this is not spam, but advice from a reader.
