Most people reply to an email by hitting ‘reply’ and typing their answer to the sender’s questions at the top of the email thread (top-posting).
This works OK for replies to short emails with a single request, but for longer emails,** try responding inline **instead.
This means typing your response directly within the body of the email.
Find the sentence you want to respond to, insert a new line (or two) and type your response of comment.
Repeat for all the comments you need to make.
Your replies can be much shorter if they are inline. You might only need to type Yes or No because it will be obvious which question you are answering.
I generally delete the rest of the original email, keeping only the paragraphs I responded to and my responses.
Inline replying saves me time and helps the original sender to see my replies to their questions in context. Everyone wins.
Try it with the emails you receive today.
