Analyzing Emails
For this exercise, you need to find a relatively recent commercial (e.g., business-related) email that you received that you are willing to share with the class. The best way to share these emails is as an image inserted in your response. You can create this image using screen capture or the snipping tool (partial screen capture). Make sure you include the email subject line in your image/screen capture. Using what you learned in Chapter 9 (and the expert sessions this module), analyze the email you received.

Why did you receive this email? Did you sign up for it? If so, what led you to sign up for it? How often do you receive email from this sender? What percentage of those emails do you look at and what percentage do you delete without opening?
