I hate reading my emails when....

1- the title of the email is irrelevant..or against the content
2- the size of the email is huge, due to file attachment. When I see this email, I simply DELETE it.

To those who like to share things in email......please...remember this :
People read emails (read: company emails) with specific purpose - to get updated news, make announcements on activities related to the organization, in shortest word length..

Thus, sending out big files containing pictures, audio, video etc will only consume people's time.. even worse, every single one of us has the exact copy of the file.. and summing the bytes together, that really takes a lot of our email server disk space! That's why some of us easily get '..exceeded disk quota..' message quite frequently. In addition, when people start to like the file and they download it to their storage drive, that will only consume disk space.

To those who like to share things in email ..please.. :
Stop sending out attachments.. just provide us with a LINK. that will do! Even better upload to your blog and invite us via a link to view the 'whatever it is that u think interesting n funny n worth sharing'.

And if possible, maybe we could suggest that the IT Unit provides a location[folder] in the server where everybody can share their files of interest... One advantage is that we can have a growing collection of multimedia files for easy browsing and retrieval.
