Many of the people who post to this list make horrible errors in spelling and grammar, clearly beyond simple typos. One could claim that English speakers should be aware of these errors and their effects, and bounce back mails with commentary on how things should be spelled or worded. Do you think anyone would be pissed off by that? Such presumption puts people off and closes their minds very quickly. Even if you try to be polite, people will be offended or otherwise bothered by either your choice of words or your attempts to push your message on them. If the message is only some word *you* want to promote regardless of whether someone wants to hear it, then header, attachment, or a whole mail, then I don't see how it's better than spam. If it really is important to the recipients, you don't get through to them by pissing them off. If you want to make a positive difference you need to get their attention in a way that they'll respond to in a non-negative way. > Personally, Bob can put whatever the hell he wants in his e-mail.

But if you actually have a goal, the reasons for doing something like this should be evaluated in terms of the results you actually get, not those you *think* you should get.
