Email Chemistry 101

David Baker has a thoughtful piece on The Chemistry Of An Email Team. This is a rarely evaluated element of a successful email program.

It will vary based on your company's size and structure but this is a good case to build for more resources in 2008. For some data to take into battle, see my iMedia piece Email economics: what to do in a recession that ran yesterday.

What are some other "roles" that could be added to this view of a typical email team?
