We’ve all gotten them. We’ve all been guilty at one time or another of sending them. I’m talking about the “Dreaded Thread” — long email threads. Those long emails with tons of headers or emails that don’t make sense without reading every email in the thread. It’s time to break the habit, clean up those emails and help the reader understand the message you are sending.
The “Dreaded Threads” come in two basic categories:
- The Scroll-Down
- The Ongoing Conversation
