Answer to Question 1

E-mail threads can be long and confusing, requiring the reader to untangle them, which is time consuming.

Many writers don't take the time to reflect on what they have written or to proofread, causing frustration, confusion, and/or unprofessionalism.

The sheer volume of e-mail messages can be difficult to manage.

Many messages are sent unnecessarily, cluttering inboxes.

Blind copying (including a third-party reader on a message that the primary recipient can't see) can be unethical or embarrassing.
