Continuing from the previous post, this list is based on observations and personal experiences:
- Sending group emails to people who don’t really need to know;
- Attaching large files;
- Sending an email to someone in the same room about a mundane matter;
- Asking to be notified when the email is deleted;
- Phoning to see if the email was received (true)!

I have to agree, particularly with large file attachments. It seems that the “not so savy” PC user just loves attaching photos taken with their 8 mega-pixel digital camera and then flooding email in-trays all around the world. This has to be the best way to slow the internet down with needless resolution. Everyone, please fire up your photo image software and resave the images with less resolution and/or higher compression (as a jpeg). If your image files are larger than 0.5MB then you are just wasting the internet’s capacity. If someone wants to print an image in high resolution, let them ask for it after they have seen the lower res version first. This will reduce the space used on your hard drive by about 80% too.
