Macmillan Holdings, LLC Careful attention to your e-mail Subject: line can make your recipients love you. Linda Productivity I agree with Bob. Please try to avoid using the word "suck." I encourage my high school English students to choose a different word that is more dignified. For example, they can say, "That's reprehensible." The same goes for "crap." http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15725#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15725#Comments Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:52:42 GMT Bob Productivity Excellent tip, but please avoid the use of the word "suck."

The verb commands an object, stated or unstated. http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15663#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15663#Comments Fri, 06 Feb 2009 22:02:26 GMT Steve Productivity Great 'cast Stever. Nothing is more annoying than that full inbox with many messages devoid of a subject lines. Reading them on a handheld is even worse as our system promotes the first line into the subject line. So more often than not with such folk, the subject line is a rambling intro sentence that tells one nothing about the point the sender was attempting to make. There should be email jail for people who do that. http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15585#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15585#Comments Tue, 03 Feb 2009 04:42:14 GMT Shirley Productivity I love this! You are amazing! I'd like to know how to "break free from information overload - and soar to new heights." Express myself very clear and be able to say something short and simple... http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15584#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx?commentid=15584#Comments Tue, 03 Feb 2009 04:28:16 GMT Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:52:42 GMT http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/writing-good-email-subject-lines.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
