Submission + - Corporate email etiquette - dead or alive 2

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?"
