Title: Surprisingly Useful
Review: A surprisingly useful and insightful guide. My first response was that a style guide for email was oxymoronic; and that, I guess, is exactly the author's point. Email is thought to be exempt from the rules of clear communication; but of course, its not. The more concise, and clear, your message is, the more likely you will get a satisfactory response. I consider myself a veteran, long-time, high-volume, email user (Investment Banker: 80+ emails / day) - yet I found much here that I had not thought about before: unique ways to highlight key points, appropriateness of style, effective formatting, etc.. Includes time saving tips, strategies for managing email, and the obligatory reminders of the permanence of email, and the common pitfalls of casual usage in corporate settings. Highly recommended.
