1. EmailRant

Being on a list of supposedly clued people who still can't manage to do email properly is... frustrating. This is a list of common mistakes.

1.1. Threading

Starting new threads by following up to completely unrelated messages
Not threading messages
Not threading messages and not attributing the message you follow up to.

1.2. Quoting

Top posting - ARGH GRRR *gnash* *gnash*
Quoting too much and then just adding one line (for bonus points top posting this as well)
Quoting too little
Quoting a message and then assuming the rest of the world has MS Okey Kokey 2000 extensions and won't just see it as the original message intermingled with the new text.
Writing all of your mail on one line
Not reformatting below 80 characters per line.
Attempting to reformat but getting it oh so wrong that the resulting mess of > and spacing confuses anyone who tries to read it.

1.3. Broken clients

Claiming your message is encoded in US ASCII when in fact it is iso-8859-1/utf-8/whatever
Using Notes

1.4. Idiot settings

Not having your real name in your headers. Especially when contacting people on business matters, though it's crap on lists too.

1.5. Mailing lists

Sending your subscribe messages to the list
Sending your unsubscribe messages to the list
Sending your unsubscribe messages to the list when there's a footer on every message explaining how to unsubscribe
Not paying attention to Mail-Followup-To headers. Repeatedly. Even when told you're about them.

I'm sure there's more...
