Regularly I find myself writing emails to my colleagues which include some form of "column explanation". Which is the best way to format a HTML email for readability? **Example** : I send out a link to an online table (created by someone else) in which you have to report the status of a complex process. The name of table columns is not self explanatory. Usually I write an email with the following structure: > Greeting > > Explanation of background, **deadline** , link to table > > column1: Please fill out this column if [...] > > column2: This column is only applicable if [...] > > columnX: 5-10 further columns [...] > > Wishes **Further thoughts:** Is a list in the email the best approach? Should I use a bullet in front of the column names? Should I emphasise (bold) the column names or does this detract from the “deadline” in bold?
