How Do You Save Important Emails?







How Do You Save Important Emails?

How Do You Save Important Emails? 12/24/2003 02:36 PM

You know all those books full of letters written by famous people? Now that everything is email, will such things be possible in the future? The first reaction is that it only makes it more likely, since people are much more likely to write down their thoughts these days and send them to people, but some folks are concerned about how such correspondences will be saved. They're worried that there's no good way to save digital contents, and that anything you do will be obsolete a decade from now. Many people even recommend printing out and keeping a paper archive of important emails. Of course, these days, it seems that most systems have a pretty straight upgrade path from old formats to new. The only area where a real problem may arise is if someone didn't upgrade their email system for ages and all the standards changed and the digital media storage eroded. I think a bigger problem may be in picking out the valuable correspondences from all the spam and forwards and junk and unimportant emails.

When Even Legitimate Emails Are
Overwhelming
06/07/2004 10:25 AM
There have been plenty of stories about the so-called (and greatly exaggerated) "death of email." Almost all of these, however, are discussing the problems associated with spam. Professor Lawrence Lessig is discovering a different kind of problem. As he's become something of a net.celebrity he's started receiving so much personal email that he can no longer effectively respond to it all. He even sent out a note telling people he hasn't responded to that he's given up and will not be responding to their email - though, he's quite sorry about it. Still, as some people in the article point out, no one says he needs to respond to every email he receives. If someone is emailing him who does not know him, he shouldn't necessarily feel obligated to respond to each and every message. In some sense, this does raise the question about the definition of "spam" again. If spam is "anythi ng I don't like," is getting to much personal email spam as well?

Why encrypted emails don't work


Why encrypted emails don't work 06/14/2004 10:01 AM
Today, I got an encrypted email. Which is fine, as I use PGP and all - but it was sent to my work address using my private key. (Yes, they are separate - they have to be separate.)

After much hassling and back-and-forthing of the email messages and keys, I managed to open the original mail. In which, it said:

"If you can't open this email, it's because I've used your PGP key from the jspwiki.org< /a> -site. Do you have a corporate one?"

Well, DUH.

Sending encrypted mail means that the mail cannot be read unless you have the proper key. And it does not help much to ask for the key in the encrypted mail itself - because if I could read it, you wouldn't need to ask, now would you? My public PGP key very clearly also does not include my work address, so one would think I don't want work-related email using it...

Oh well.

Even if simple usability issues such as key management seem to be difficult to fathom, then how on earth are people supposed to understand basic concepts of security - signing, encryption, choosing wise passwords, keeping your PGP secret keys really secret, key revokation, etc.

It's not gonna work. Unless someone figures out a far, far more comprehensible manner of explaining security than currently is used. Security is too abstract. People can't comprehend it. We need a way to make security more concrete, much like having an actual physical lock.

Flame Emails Are Not A Crime


Flame Emails Are Not A Crime 03/22/2005 07:03 PM
A few more details might be useful to understand what really happened in this case, but a woman accused of harassment for sending "e-mails laced with obscenities and references to Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden" to a website that had pro-death penalty statements has been cleared, after the judge said she didn't actually break any laws. Since there were just a few emails, they weren't seen as harassing, and since they were just directed to the website in general (which asked for feedback), rather than the individual who specifically received them, the judge determined that they weren't specific threats or harassments. While the ruling makes sense on the free speech side of things, these other arguments don't seem to make as much sense. Just because the website doesn't indicate who the emails are going to, they're still going to someone. Either way, for those of you who enjoy participating in various flame wars, it certainly seems like this ruling says that free speech protects you (at least in this court's jurisdiction) -- assuming you don't become threatening or continue to harass the person.

You may remember that soon after President Bush took office, he told people that he could no longer email anyone since any of his emails were likely to become public at some point. Well, it turns out that his predecessor, President Clinton, has now made his own emails public as part of his library. Of course, the emails are not that interesting. There are a grand total of two emails. Yes, that's right: two. Even better, the first email is a "test" email to make sure his email account worked. The second, which was apparently created with the help of staffers, was sent to John Glenn while he was up in the space shuttle. Meanwhile, though, his staff was pretty busy on the email front, sending out approximately 40 million emails.

Customer Support Emails? We're Supposed
To Respond To Them?
01/07/2005 12:10 AM
Who really needs customers< /a> after all? Apparently, plenty of companies online have no problem ignoring them. A new study has found that 15% of companies do not respond to customers' e-mails at all. Another 14% only respond partially, and plenty of others don't respond in a reasonable amount of time. We've seen similar stats before. Of course, what's most interesting is that those other studies have shown that the very same companies respo nd very quickly to sales requests. It certainly seems that some companies have their priorities out of whack. Your customers are the ones who you know are willing to give you money. Shouldn't you treat them in a way that will make them want to give you money again? Maybe the problem is just that there are no humans left in customer support.

Probably not all that surprising, but a study has shown that aggressive work emails or emails from superiors are likely to increase blood pressure. The worst offenders, of course, are those that combine both conditions: the dreaded angry email from the boss. The study suggests, then, that's counter-productive for bosses to vent their anger in email to staff. The folks who performed the study suggest that part of the problem is that the impersonal nature of email makes people more willing to be particularly nasty in writing the emails. Of course, what they didn't study is whether or not sending nasty emails is beneficial to your health...

Passing On Third Party Emails Officially
Not Defamation


Passing On Third Party Emails Officially
Not Defamation
06/09/2004 05:14 PM
Last year, a US Court of Appeals ruled that someone just passing on an email accusing someone else of a crime was not guilty of defamation. While this ruling got plenty of misplaced attention when someone (erroneously) interpreted it to mean blogger s could libel anyone they wanted, it was still an important statement about the liability of third party publishing done online. Now, the US Supreme Court has declined to hear the case, meaning that the Appeals Court ruling stands, and third parties are free of libel or defamation claims for items written by others. While I doubt it will stop people from trying to file lawsuits for third party comments on sites (which we've been threatened with way too many times) at least it gives people a clear ruling they can point to in telling those people to go away.
