mbravo writes "I work in a largish (~300) company which is heavily into IT, and is pretty dynamic in a complex and quickly changing market. Employees are predominantly around 30 of age, often less. And of course we rely on a lot of internal e-mail comms (running MS Exchange but that is another story). Lately I'm finding myself increasingly frustrated by a complete lack of e-mail etiquette in the company. A hundred-long chain of one-liners with full quoting including hundreds of addressees names in each message cluttering one's inbox is never a good sign. And it happens more and more often. But most sadly, when confronted with some basic reasoning about why that is bad, I don't seem to meet any understanding in the vast majority of these people (excluding, rather expectedly, most developers and sysadmins).
Do other slashdotters experience similar things? How do you deal with it, and does your company care? Does the company take any policing or educating measures?"

You'll find a lot of the 20-30 year old professional population has adopted email clients such as GMail, which organizes emails in a threaded fashion, similar to what you find on forums. Unfortunately, this paradigm doesn't translate well to traditional email clients such as Exchange. In many cases, it's possible to have all your email fowarded through such a client if you're willing to make the switch.. it does make the communication a lot easier.
