EMAIL MANIA (Gibson encounter) - Let's get this done

[troublemaker]

subject line: What a wild debate! (Was that Gibson encounter a first?)

Hi, This second Bush-Kerry debate was pretty good--closer than the first one. I think Kerry won on points, but Bush improved his arguments. Mostly though, it was really weird when President Bush was yelling at Charlie Gibson.

(Just my two cents)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
XXXXX XXXXXXXX

This short and seemingly inane email was sent to the following. (Bcc'd to these addresses, not Cc'ed. Be careful about that) Please write your own short non-partisan sounding email that somehow manages to mention the Bush-Gibson confrontation as the key moment. Keep in mind that the SUBJECT LINE may well be all anyone reads.

1. given the speed of posts tonight I will allow myself some self-kicks

[troublemaker]

6. This is important. We need to shape the battlescape via the Gibson thing

[troublemaker]

8. .

7. .

2. How do you suggest breaking down that list of recipients?

How many recipients can be sent one e-mail? Sorry, I'm not trying to be a smart-ass; I'm not accustomed to sending bulk e-mails. Thanks. :)

3. If you use BCC instead of TO or CC,

Which is by far preferable with long lists of addresses anyway, than the limit on #'s of addresses is up to your email client. Each recipient will see only their own address.

[troublemaker]

5. Yes, it's all up to your email client

[troublemaker]

4. You can probably send them all in one (in the Bcc line of course)

any random clump is good, though. Even one is good. The idea isn't to persuade anyone of anything but just to keep media types remebering the Bush-Gibson smack-down.

I didn't mention subject lines. Keep in mind that the subject line may well be all that will be read. Mine was:

What a debate! (Was that Gibson encounter a first?)
