Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long
span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and
I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work,
the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with.
Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.
Here is
the article. It's well worth reading especially if you find your emaill
communications with certain people to be difficult sometimes. My (new)
basic rule for email is "unless it has to be sent, don't send it."
