E-mail and spam

This page was last modified on Tuesday, 8 July 2008, 15:48 HST @992


I get a lot of email, and sometimes I write about how people use - and misuse - email. 

If you’re sending me an email message, please include some cues in your subject line so I can find your message quickly.

If you’re one of my students, include your course’s number in the subject along with some clues about your request or message. I usually teach 2 or more different courses during the spring and fall semesters. 

Here are some examples of non-specific subject lines that students should avoid using:

  • Question
  • IS 6100
  • Re: re: re: 
  • Hello
  • Assignment

Misspelling my name in your email message will make me wonder, especially when you sent the message to an email address that includes my last name
