This week hasn't been a lucky one for my emails.

[Writer]

I've sent several this week that were rather important and I haven't received any responses! Sometimes I think the little Email Gnome has been plucking my emails out of the ether.

:(

Can I ask for good email vibes? Maybe that will help.

2. Maybe you need to call or send snail mail or something.

3. Update: Hey, some of those vibes worked! I received one...

reply for one of the several very important emails I sent this week.

Oh thank you thank you, Good Email Gnomes!

4. Do you use the "return receipt" function?

I swear by it. If they've read it and don't reply within a couple of days, I write 'em off.

Good vibes? I'll even light a white candle for ya, gf. :hug:

5. Oh thank you, Heidi!

I haven't used the return receipt function... is that available in Outlook?

[Heidi]

6. I don't use Outlook, but I checked. It's under options.

Options -> Voting and Tracking Options -> Check the box: Request a delivery receipt for this message.

Go get 'em, Writer. :thumbsup:

7. Many thanks, many thanks!

8. Would it be selfish to ask for a few more vibes?

10. Thanks!

... although I must wonder what sort of email that would be? ;)

[billyskank]

11. Whatever it is that you are waiting for.

I didn't mean anything suggestive, but I am sharing some optimism with you. :hug:

[Writer]

12. Thank you.

I can use all the optimism I can get.
