Someone emails me on a regular basis, from an sbcglobal.net email address. Each time I respond to this person, I notice that their previous comments have been removed, and only their email address shows, along with my comments.
Also, when this person emails me, their replies are at the very bottom of my replies. Is this normal for people using sbcglobal.net email accounts? Usually when someone replies to me, my comments would be underneath their reply.
We often discuss business matters, and this is starting to make me uncomfortable. Is it possible for someone to remove your(or their) comments, change the wording, and forward to someone else?
I keep ALL of this person's emails for future reference just in case. Thanks
Is it normal for comments to be removed from sbcglobal.net email addresses? Or is this done manually?
Most people do not do anything special.
Some people add their responses to the TOP, so you see it right away.
Some people add their responses to the Bottom, because they have a bizarre sense of order.
But e-mail program settings can CHUCK the discussion. In fact, that wacky AOL service forces the user to HIGHLIGHT anything that they want to KEEP in the reply. I think that AOL is WRONG about this method. It means that you would have to SAVE everything, instead of keeping the discussion going back and forth.
Obviously, I prefer to keep the whole discussion, so it is easy to scroll down to see what was said before. I prefer to ANSWER at the TOP of the response, so the response is the FIRST thing that the person sees.
Also, USE the SUBJECT LINE, so people know that an important discussion is involved in the message, and what it is all about.
Use BCC (blind carbon copy) when using a LONG list, that way, you don't get a free-for-all going. Keep the list private, so someone's infected computer does not get EVERYONE.
E-mail etiquette is important to follow closely. It is best to only tell GOOD NEWS, because bad news is always taken poorly.
