When I get an email, I would evaluate the importance from the small tool-tip I get from Outlook, and I won't immediately reply when I'm doing something else (GTD rules)...
When I finish whatever I was doing when the email tried to interrupt me, I will look at it.
If it's from somebody who wants to sell something, I delete it.
If it's from somebody why wants information that I know, I'll reply with the information.
If it's something I need to do, I reply with a conformation, CC to myself, which automatically puts it on my tasks with follow-up reminder in 3 days.
p.s. I am a Qatari, and I feel offended when you point at us in particular, I had bad experiences with people of all nationalities...
p.p.s. It's responding or response, not responsing.
mohamed,
I will only reply when I want to.
