Deep dives
Priority-based email sorting
One solution to handle the overwhelming amount of email is to create a high-priority inbox by using tags in the email body. By setting up a folder and a rule, messages containing a specific tag, like 'ZPLF', can be automatically sorted into the high-priority inbox. This sorting approach allows for flexibility and eliminates the need to manage multiple email addresses for different priorities. Conversation threads can be sorted as high priority based on the tag, even if the importance changes midstream.
Invisible ink tags for secrecy
To maintain secrecy and avoid drawing attention, tags can be added using invisible ink. By coloring the tag text white against a white background, it remains invisible to the recipient but can still be sorted by the email program. This technique can be useful for confidential conversations or organizing top-secret information without raising suspicion.
Tagging for topic-based sorting and multi-party communication
Tags can also be used to sort emails by topic, enabling efficient organization of different subjects or disciplines. Additionally, tags can facilitate multi-party communication by tagging specific individuals in the email body and setting up a rule to automatically forward relevant messages to them. This allows for easy collaboration while maintaining the appearance of a direct conversation between sender and recipient.
