When you e-mail me, please use the following guidelines. Not only will this help me find your e-mail if I have to search for it, but it will allow me to be more efficient in responding to your electronic communications. Thank you.
1. Always use your Purdue account to send mail to me. At times I’ve had messages from other accounts end up in my spam folder where I can’t retrieve them, or they never arrived.
2. Send yourself a copy (cc or bcc yourself) to have “proof” you sent something in the event I don’t get it. If you can’t prove you sent something to me, I will assume you didn’t send it at all.
3. Please put your name IN the e-mail somewhere. Don’t assume I know who you are by your address.
4. Please put your name on the actual document you attach to your e-mail. When I open a downloaded file I need to know who it belongs to.
5. Please title your attached files with your name and the project/draft #. When I download your files I often have 20 files titled “draft”. This wastes my time when I have to retitle your work or open multiple files to find your project. Ex. “Cooper–Pr1Dft1″ or “Project1draft1–Steiner”
6. Please title your e-mail subject lines with your name and the project title. (Same as above)
7. Please save and send your electronic files as .doc instead of .docx. I can’t open MS Word 2007 with my Mac MS Word 2004. If you experience formatting troubles by doing so, let me know when you e-mail it.
THANK YOU!
