Module 2 Tasks-email

For this task I had to answer the following questons, i am not sure if i am answering correctly, but i will do my best.

1.What information about a user's email, the origin of a message, and the path it took, can you glean from an email message?
When one recieves an email from someone else, just by looking at the peices of information that get sent to you about the sender, allow you to know quite a few points about the sender and his methods. Firstly, by reading his address you are able to know which server he is using for hie email, for example, yahoo, gmail or if it is from home-based email. You can sometime also know where it is coming from if it has 'au' at the end then you know it is from Australia. You can also find out the senders domain name.

2.In what cases would you find it useful to use the 'cc', 'bcc' and 'reply all functions of email?
I would use the 'cc' button when i want to send the same infomation to people who know each other and who need the same information, the 'bcc' button when i want to send the same information to different people but i dont want each reciepient to know that the same email has been sent to someone else or to whom, and i would use the 'reply all' function, only if it was nesessary, as using this function could lead to mistakes, and so i generally just reply to the person who sent me the email.

3.In what ways can you ensure that an attachment you send will be easily opened by the receiver?
To ensure that the reciever will be able to access the attachment that i am sending, i would either ask them if they have have the required software, or i would send it in plain or rich text format.

4.What sorts of filters or rules do you have set up, and for what purpose?
I file my emails according to the topics, and then further into names. For example: school friends, business matters etc. Then all the extras are dealt with seperately.

5.How have you organised the folder structure of your email and why?
I have set up the folders by topics as i have not yet opened up or buisness, that i have an extremely large amount of emails being sent to me. So the only files i need to make are in topics, rather then in client names etc.
