If someone sends you an email saying thank you, are you suppose to reply and say you are welcome. :corn:

we have an instant messaging program and it is very convenient for a lot of stuff and doesn't need to be as formal as email, so I always get tripped up on whether to do thank yous or your welcomes. some even abbreviate these to ty and yw or np (no problem). depends on who it is
next time, you can thank me with a pic
or a cupcake.
good call.
i prefer the call.
The reply all function should be banned for all mass e-mails.
I found it useful for the first time in my life last week when a curriculum was changed and another student 'reply all'-ed with a valid question that a lot of other people probably had. I would imagine it's easier on the sender to answer that one question rather than a couple hundred times as well.

I will do the call when I don't want anything to be documented

yeah! and he's probably the type that when you don't answer will then immediately ping you on instant messaging!! hate that
i agree, i hate the peopel that instant message all the time....fuckin pick up the phone and call me with your question.
We actually had a graphic designer here who asked folks to stop sending him emails thanking him for his work.
Maybe send this?
I do this. It's all the energy I have for.

Oh my god, these people are the worst. Even worse than that is when you get an email from IT about something and it clearly states "do not respond to this email" and people start responding to all. It really makes you realize how dumb some people are.
i once accidently sent an email to everyone...it was on groupwise, so i was able to recall it before 75% of the people read it.
unfortuanlly, one of the people that did read it, did a reply all to let me know i fucked up. :fp:
:nono:
i liked groupwise so much better....
you can recall an outlook email...but seems to be hit or miss.
But really, all email should have a delay option. It doesn't actually go out until 2 minutes after you hit send or something. I don't know why it doesn't already exist universally.
No
