  Someone asked how you get people to use email. The secret is to have
support at the top. If the head honcho starts asking for info by email,
sending out meeting notices, etc, pretty soon the next level down starts
at least reading and responding. The technical staff pretty much will
use it as soon as available, anyway, and the middle management gets mail
from above and below.
