One of the most frustrating and potentially powerful tools we have 
at our disposal is electronic mail.  We have all heard complaints from
both sides.  I get too much mail, I can't deal with it.  I send
mail and NEVER get a response or I have to send a number of follow-up items
to elicit a response.  Office A claims office B isn't responsive to their
mail and B claims A isn't either.

This problem has to be addressed or it will only get worse.  I have been 
an electronic mail user for over 15 years.  I have always been responsive 
to my mail contacts.  

I would like to create some sort of plan for our management on how to get
people to be more responsive to mail and how "not" to go crazy with too much
mail.

Anyone with comments, experiences, dreams or ??? please send me email.  I am
sure my company is not the only organization having problems with this
technology.

Thanks,  ---Bill
