BREYDON’s emailing me courteously

breydon.id.au/contact/emailing

Contact emailing implies the sister sport, of non‐contact emailing.

For accessibility, please be sure to send:

Sensitive information needs to go via a more secure contact method, instead.

1. Attachments

Please aim to keep attachments to a few hundred kilobytes in size, or less. Files which are necessarily bigger are a‐okay if we arrange it in advance. Think: most production‐quality audio of more than one channel or more than one minute; substantial manuscripts; high‐resolution versions of photographs; and so on.

Attachments are best in file‐formats which are open and (where possible) non‐proprietary. This way, I will have more hope of accessing the material that you are trying to convey, or of replying in‐kind.

Any content relying on hotlinks or “cloud” applications will be considered to have never been supplied! For instance: information presented as embedded images that are hosted on some web‐server, or consultation processes held through Google forms. 😞 Those sorts of approaches are exclusionary, to say the least. The good news is, we can simply include the essence of our messages directly in our messages… so that’s pretty ace.

2. For those mindful of kinds of plain text

If you’re wondering about character‐encodings, UTF-8 is preferred; nevertheless, most other encodings are wranglable when clearly stated. 😁

I’m completely unfussed whether you use reflowed text or hard linebreaks. I will try my best to match your usage.

3. Email addressing

My public email address is wrul@posteo.fi

If you would be happy for me to publish your message (in full or in part), please write [CITABLE] in the subject line.

Some guidance — to your name (as you would like to be credited), location (if you like), and their pronunciation — will be much appreciated. Include your pronouns if you have them and want them.

Other responses can also be delivered to wrul@posteo.fi
