E-mail Policies
Although I was one of the first to use e-mail extensively,
due to an influx of inexperienced users it has become a deluge
of garbage, and I have had to adopt policies to deal with the mess.
- Privacy Policy
-
If you do not stand behind what you are sending me, DO NOT SEND IT TO
ME. I freely quote e-mails I get to third parties. Unsolicited
e-mail is never considered private. However, if your e-mail
is not commercial in any sense, and you explicitly add a
reasonable request for confidentially, I usually obey it.
- Quoted-printable encoding
-
I have wasted more time getting rid of this junk than anything else.
If you send me Chinese: I do not understand this language. If you do
not send me Chinese: quoted printable is not needed nor wanted.
- HTML encoding
-
This garbage is unreadable for me and clogs my mailbox. Send PLAIN TEXT.
- MS Word files
-
I do not do proprietary formats of criminal companies.
- Power Point files
-
I do not do proprietary formats of criminal companies.
- PDF files
-
Send me the text, not the fonts and encoding.
- VCARD files
-
It amazes me the amount of useless garbage people manage to attach to files.
- WINMAIL.DAT files
-
