E-Mail Pet Peeves

If anybody uses their e-mail for any sort of serious conversations, or wants to make the attempt to, please don't do any of the things in this page, like sending an e-mail with a bunch of ">>>" characters in them, use Plaxo (I've opted out, so you won't get them from me or I won't take them), attachments and no body, unprofessional e-mail address, and unresearched hoaxes.

Ok, I disagree with eliminating the carat >>. It shows which part of the email is not yours. That's why it's there. Most of the rest I do agree with though.

What frustrates me is the ">>" that people forget to remove from forwarded messages (jokes, etc...) that make it a pain to read.
