Computer Tip of the Week

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Always Use a Subject
Don't make the reader guess

This tip is rather important, at least to me. When you send an e-mail to someone, please make sure you use a Subject in the subject line. I receive many e-mails from people I don't know, and if they are not in my address book, they automatically go into my Spam folder. About once a day I check the Spam folder just to see what's landed there, and quite often there are several messages without a Subject.

Usually, if I don't recognize the e-mail address of the sender, I delete it without opening it. But once in awhile I will open a message and find that it's from one of you folks on my Tips list asking a question. If I had deleted it you would have thought I never received it or I just chose to ignore you. Obviously it's neither. Please give your readers a hint of what the message is about so they don't think it's some spammer wasting our time. I thank you and your friends will too.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
