EMAIL TASK
1. What information about a user's email, the origin of a message, and the path it took, can you glean from an email message?
If the subject heading does not have "re:" in front of it, it means that it is a new subject. If it has "important" in the heading, I assume the sender wants me to read it as soon as possible. If it is a reply ("re:") then it is a response to my email.
If I do not know the sender of an email, or by the subject line, I have a choice to read it or delete it. I instantly delete any email that does not contain a subject.
2. In what cases would you find it useful to use the 'cc', 'bcc' and 'reply all functions of email?
The 'cc' allows me to send the email to more than one recipient. By using 'bcc', that prevents other recipients from seeing who else has received the same email.
3. In what ways can you ensure that an attachment you send will be easily opened by the receiver?
Firstly, if possible, asking the recipient if they have the same program that would allow the attachment to open properly. If I cannot ascertain that, then send the attachment as a MIME, which is the default encoding.
4. What sorts of filters or rules do you have set up, and for what purpose?
As I mainly use the email for family and friends I have not set up any filters. I have been fortunate not to swamped by spam and immediately delete anything that I think is spam.
5. How have you organised the folder structure of your email and why?
Most of my email is personal. If anything important is sent to me I print it out so that I have a hard copy to refer to if necessary.
