No, no lecture. I¹d call it more of a plea. Practically begging. We are all juggling a lot. I don¹t know about you guys, but I¹m barely staying on top of my email. It helps if people use the subject header in the way the Good Lord intended them to be used: to convey the subject. It¹s not like we¹re pleading for something extraordinary, like the subject header expressed in Hieroglyphics. We¹re asking for a modicum of connection between the subject header of the email and the actual subject of the email. Clear and concise subject headers don¹t ever confuse people. Nobody ever recoils from a clear subject header. But when they are not, it¹s hard to keep track. The below is a case in point. [Brynne, this isn¹t directed at you, you are just stepping into a very divisive ongoing debate about email etiquette, including subject header abuse, that has come down largely along gender lines.] Now you will get the lecture about changing subject lines On May 2, 2014, at 11:05 AM, Tina Flournoy <Tina@presidentclinton.com> wrote: > Is this ANOTHER call re: PA-13? > > From: Matt McKenna [mailto:matt.mckenna@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, May 02, 2014 11:06 AM > To: Philippe Reines <preines.hrco@gmail.com>; Brynne <brynnecraig@gmail.com>; > Huma Abedin > Cc: Matt McKenna; Minyon Moore <mmoore@deweysquare.com>; Tina Flournoy; John > Podesta <john.podesta@gmail.com>; Cheryl Mills <cheryl.mills@gmail.com>; > eryn.sepp@gmail.com <eryn.sepp@gmail.com>; Nick Merrill > <nmerrill.hrco@gmail.com>; Joanne Laszczych (lachkey@aol.com) > <lachkey@aol.com> > Subject: Re: 2pm call CONFIRMED > > > I'm in the air until 1:40 p.m. EDT. > > From: PIR <preines.hrco@gmail.com> > Date: Fri, 2 May 2014 11:02:14 -0400 > To: Brynne<brynnecraig@gmail.com>; Huma Abedin<Huma@clintonemail.com> > Cc: Matt McKenna<Matt@presidentclinton.com>; > mmoore@deweysquare.com<mmoore@deweysquare.com>; Tina > Flournoy<Tina@presidentclinton.com>; > john.podesta@gmail.com<john.podesta@gmail.com>; > cheryl.mills@gmail.com<cheryl.mills@gmail.com>; > eryn.sepp@gmail.com<eryn.sepp@gmail.com>; > nmerrill.hrco@gmail.com<nmerrill.hrco@gmail.com>; Joanne Laszczych > (lachkey@aol.com)<lachkey@aol.com> > Subject: Re: 2pm call CONFIRMED > > Sorry guys, I can¹t do 2pm today.
