Emails

[agmlego.livejournal.com]

As promised here, below lie links to the various boilerplate emails I send out for various issues, including...

• ...the sending of Office attachments (first, second times): here
  
• ...the sending of Office attachments (third, fourth times): here
  
• ...the sending of Office attachments (fifth time): here
  
• ...the sending of Office attachments (sixth time): here
  
• ...the sending of unsubscribe (or personal/sensitive) messages to lists: here
  
• ...the polite asking for help in fields I am not familiar with: here
  
• ...the rude asking for help in fields I am not familiar with: here
  
• ...(NEW, adapted from here) the spamming of lists/address books with panic emails: here
  

Note that, though the files linked above are HTML files, the actual emails sent are in plaintext format. The rationale behind the HTML files above is the increased efficacy of hyperlinks when viewed in a web browser. The pages linked to are either reference materials (Google, Wikipedia, Snopes, ATLAS, etc.,) or rationale pages (like this), which are almost guaranteed to be up at all times. If you do use these documents, especially the rationale pages, please consider mirroring them on a server more personal to you. Feel free to modify these documents and the rationale pages as you see fit--I release them into the public domain.

Enjoy!

Yes, and your little page there is just as condescending as your original emails.

How about something along the lines of:

Hi,

Unfortunately, I can't read that file. Could you please resend it as a text file? Just go to Save As... and select "RTF" or "TXT" in the "Format" box and save it.

Thanks!

This is a hell of a lot less pretentious and rude than "You're offending people with your horrible Office formats!!eleventyone!!1!!!! How dare you?!".

Whose little page, and whose emails? The only things that I have authored in this discussion are those that have my username attached to them.
