Email Layout

I like to meet new people, especially folks who are new to our church. Occasionally I'll "meet" people over the phone or via email, and a few weeks ago I met Anna when she emailed to say she wanted to attend this upcoming weekend's women's retreat. The next week I emailed all the ladies attending the retreat asking for help with various activities. Anna replied with a beautiful email--beautiful was the layout and structure of her paragraphs and ideas, her use of bolding and parentheses, the spacing, and her grammar and typography. I was so impressed by the look and content of her email that I couldn't wait to meet her! Yes, I'm a grammar dork and well-written (and well-typed) people impress me.
