Dealing with the List
- Always use "Reply to All", to keep everyone and mailing list in the thread. Don't be afraid to make a correction if you used "Reply" to single people involved by mistake.
- Rude behavior is not appreciated on the mailing list. Always remember that words in email can sound harsher than the intent when you're reading or writing emails.
- Setup filters on tags will help the traffic flow.
- You may not get a reply. Don't be afraid to resend your email after a few days.
- If you're expecting someone to see your email, include them in the CC/TO line after you sent out the initial email and didn't get a reply.
- Communicate often.
