Let's say you decide to share this TIP with a colleague or friend. What's the easiest way to do this?
Well, you could just click the forward button on your email program. But simply clicking and filling in an email address and punching the Send button may cause problems.
Here's why.
Without a short note to your friend, it may not be obvious who the letter is from, and why you forwarded it. What if they don't recognize your email address? Not saying they won't, of course. It's just good manners. Plus, you may want to tell them WHY you're sending the email.
When you forward an email to someone without an explanation, it's like getting junk mail.
Hey, let's try something. Right now, click your forward button. You'll see the subject line is filled in for you.
Good.
Now type your own email address in the "To:" line.
Drop down to the body of the message, where you'll see this TIP. Click your mouse cursor on the first line in front of the first character.
Now press the Enter key a couple of times to give yourself some typing space, and type a short message. Like "Testing." Or, "I'm forwarding this to myself."
When you're through, send the email. Then check your mail.
Very good. You've just tested your own email, and you know you're able to forward. Now try forwarding TIP to a friend.
