&gt; When responding to an email that has multiple questions, indicate which question is being responded to.<p>I had a boss who would respond with &quot;yes&quot; or &quot;that&#x27;s fine&quot; to an email with several questions. I guess he thought he was being concise, like famous CEOs. It was frustrating.<p>Now even in personal emails I try to do max 1 question per email, and if it&#x27;s more than a couple sentences I repeat the question as the last line of the email.
