C)Many email programs display the first few words or lines of incoming messages,even before the recipient opens them.Choose the first few words carefully to grab your reader's attention.All caps is interpreted as screaming."Must read" does not tell the recipient why they must read it.A better method would be to write a short description of the topic with keywords,directions,or questions.Limiting all email messages to a single sentence is not practical.
