I'm one of those freaks that listen to the e-mail groups bitching about the tremendous storage problems they have. So I only save e-mails where it contains information that isn't reflected somewhere else. Mostly, that's incoming e-mail. If she wants to know whenever I e-mailed someone else, she really needs to ask them, or to explicitly order defiance of the e-mail group's directives.
Notes e-mails copy and paste like crap. I'm trying to mitigate things by finding the most recent e-mails in the chain, and printing those only. And I'm double checking with her about attachments, because there's a metric assload of those.
Thing is? This won't help, certainly not any more than if I emailed her this stuff and she took her laptop to the meeting. She's never going to be able to read it all in time, and it's not like it's going to be indexed or searchable.
Also, it's just wrong.
Hey, ND? There was a story on All Things Considered last night featuring a guy who is a famous sound designer (I'm assuming). He was in London working on the latest Harry Potter movie and talked about where sound designers found the sounds they used, illustrating it with examples from The Empire Strikes Back. He ended with a plea for listeners to contact him through NPR if they had a sound that they thought was cool or told a story.
Who is it in Chicago that's a Mary Kay rep? Is it ChiKat?
Yep. Feel free to give her my email address (in profile). I'll be glad to chat with her about it.
Yet all the Regency heroes are at least 6'.
Well, 99.9% of Regency heroes are noble or at least gentry, so it makes sense that they'd be well-fed enough to reach modern English heights. The statistic was for enlisted men, who then as now tended to come disproportionately from the poor and desperate segments of society. I deliberately made my own commoner enlisted hero the son of a reasonably prosperous innkeeper who ran away to join the army in a fit of youthful romance and itchy-footedness so I could make him well-nourished enough to look like a hero. Except for the part where he's only 5'10" (though I never explicitly spell out his height), has red hair (much more popular for heroines than heroes), and is skinny (I call it "lean" or "wiry").

I'm not going to tell you how many I have in some of my mailboxes. The scary thing is, about 3 times a year, this hoarding save my (or someone else's) ass.
It's terrible, but the main function I use for documenting stuff.
I'd think it'd be a good idea to at least keep your sent and received emails. You could archive them once a month or something.
Hoo-boy, we keep
everything
around here. "Deep and wide" is our mantra. You never know when shit's going to fly about something noone's thought about in months, and it's helpful to be able to pull up the ass-cover on a moment's notice.
"a willowy Inuit is hard to find".
Heh. Buffy shout-out, or mere amusing coincidence?
(actually, this reminded me I hadn't gone through the ones I keep logs in since...well, a long time. And that stuff I only need about the last month's data. So I just deleted 2500 messages.)
Does anyone else get to the end of the thread, put the cursor in the post box, and hit paste just to see if, at some point, they had something to say?
Just me? Okay then.
