Use of read receipts, high priority and URGENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t globally request a read-receipt – this may annoy your recipient before they have even read your message.\u00a0\u00a0 I get these a lot and usually never say yes – send them a read receipt.\u00a0 Many people consider this an invasion of privacy and usually click cancel (like me). If you need a read receipt, then use it on individual emails only.\u00a0 I do this when I want to know if people have actually opened the email.\u00a0 This is still not a guarantee that they have read it.\u00a0\u00a0 Most email clients have a\u00a0 way of setting it so that you donot automatically send a read receipt.<\/p>\n

If your message really is urgent or important then email is not the correct communication method to be using in the first place; the telephone is probably better option.\u00a0 or better yet – Instant Messaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
