Most email should be sent to an appropriate Sagamore group instead of specific people (or at least always CC a group too). Everyone decides how "plugged-in" to a group they want to be: completely ignore, browse past conversations on the web, subscribe to receive weekly or daily digests by email, or subscribe to receive every message. Anyone can email a (non-announcement) group, but messages from non-subscribers are moderated (I can moderate more heavily if need be). |
