Is this bad email etiquette?
Edited on Thu Jan-08-09 06:39 PM by redqueen
Sometimes when I'm sending someone a batch of several pictures... I like to send one with some text, then send another with the next email after getting a response to the first mail, and so on.

Is this rude? I sometimes prefer doing it that way... also it drags out the enjoyment instead of giving them a bunch to save all at once.

1. Not at all - for people with small inboxes it could be helpful
People who complain about the speed at which you give them something should work on their selfish instant-gratification problem...

4. I was thinking that too...

that it would allow for the mail to be downloaded faster.

And no, there weren't complaints... but I like to worry about things pre-emptively. Just in case.

2. I think it depends on the person and the situation
But either way, i don't think it's necessarily rude.

I used to have to send photos in small batches because my internet connection was so slow. As for receiving them, I usually don't really care if they come in one email or several. But for me, I can't say I get any more enjoyment out of several.


Seems like a non-issue to me. :shrug:
