general tips while forwarding emails

Some simple suggestions about forwarding any mail you may feel is worth forwarding:

  • Use BCC while copying unrelated people.
  • Remove previous addresses of people previously in the forward chain so that somewhere down the line their ids dosen’t get collected as spam.
  • Trim out redundant text like ads, etc and preferably also lines that say inane chain mail stuff like forward to everyone you know “else you’ll get bad luck”/”show you’re a true patriot”/any other nonsense psychological gimmick attempting to gain immortality for the email! 😉

All this takes less than 10 seconds before you hit the Send button 🙂

    This common man’s blog site is mostly about sharing my happiness and discoveries with others.
