I know that you’re not supposed to blog about being busy. (Isn’t it one of the cardinal blogging sins, or something?) In case you’re wondering, that’s exactly what’s going on with me right now. I’ve been unbelievably busy for the past week, or so.
Until I can get back into the swing of things, you might enjoy this helpful post about subject line words that might get your e-mail sent to the Spam folder. The blogger had no way of knowing it, of course, but I actually had a very important e-mail wind up in my spam filter just last week.
Now, I have to say, the spam filter does a very good job of “filing” all of those notices about my foreign lottery winnings. (Who knew I could win so many times without even entering?) There are times, though, that I really do receive and send important information through e-mail. It would be nice to have a little more assurance that things actually get where they need to be.
Do you have any frustrations with e-mail spam. Feel free to share them!

Thanks, Laura, for calling my attention to the post about words not to use in an e-mail title or subject line. It’s one I should send my readers to and giving you credit for alerting me.

Hi Mary Emma!
I’m glad you found this helpful. It highlights the fact that it’s important to pay attention to our e-mails too.
