What kind of emailer are you?

by Matt Beaumont
continued from page 3
e-manuelle
This is a relatively new genre in the email oeuvre. This radical and outspoken woman writer clearly grew up with the Spice Girls and Madonna because she is proud of her sexuality and expresses it brazenly in her emails.

These usually take the form of a) a graphic description of what she did last night or b) a graphic shopping list of what she’d like to do after work. But she is no celebrity-craving media tart because the sole addressee is usually her boyfriend.

Should you be thinking of dabbling in this bold new form of erotica yourself, a word of warning. Don’t date a sleazy little braggart, unless you’re happy about your predilection for, say, a bit of Greek being turned into a chain letter and passed on to a global audience. Anyone know what Claire Swires is up to right now…?

And finall-e
This last group has no style. They are too bone-idle for that. Their emails read like lowercase streams of consciousness – not a capital or punctuation mark in sight. Well, it's just so much bloody effort, isn't it? As for the lazy slobs who leave steaming squeezed-out tea bags on the worktop in the office kitchenette, well, now you know who they are.
