Most of everything is handled over the phone.

However, I do have a bad habit of keeping EVERY work related email and a copy of my sent messages.  I've worked on too many projects where a PM or client later claims they never agreed to something or never said that and the emails have saved me. <em>Derek's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DerekSemmler/~3/238532969/' rel="nofollow">Overclocking The World With OCIA.net</a></em> I rarely use the read receipt feature at work.  If I am dealing with someone that has a history of claiming they never saw an email, I will use it from time to time.  Another time I will use is it is if I have something with a degree of urgency and voicemails are not being returned.
