Managing your iDEas messages

Here are some tips for managing your iDEas list messages.

Use a meaningful subject line when you send messages.

Compare the first subject line with the second example.

Subject line example 1

Re: Assignments

Example 2

Re: How I make sure I get my assignments in on time

You'll note that the second example gives the reader a better idea of what the email is about.

Filter your messages

You can set up rules in your email program to help sort messages from iDEas (and other mail) into one or more categories. That way, your email account will help manage your incoming mail.

Monash mail tools allows you to use filter management to filter email messages from an address (in this case, ideas.list@calt.monash.edu.au) into an email folder.
