Re: How do I send a late notice?

How late is late? Some companies wait 60 days to pay; do you know this company's payment policy, and who to direct your payment request to? You can do any one, or all three of those methods, or maybe just a phone call would do. Whatever works for you.

P.S. Suggest you ease up on the caps in your profile - looks like you're screaming at the reader. The profile also has a few spelling errors that detract from the professional image you want.

Re: How do I send a late notice?

Thank you it is also my email address and it is all caps. I can't change that and I will check again for the spelling errors thanks.

I'm sure he means the body of your profile, not your e-mail address.

Re: How do I send a late notice?

Have you tried to email yourself withoutg using caps? I don't believe it matters.

It MAY matter ...

The format of Internet e-mail addresses is defined in RFC 2822, which permits them to consist of only a subset of ASCII characters.

As defined in RFC 2821, the local-part of an e-mail address has a maximum of 64 characters (although servers are encouraged to not limit themselves to accepting only 64 characters) and the domain name a maximum of 255 characters. Unlike everything else in the header, the local-part "MUST BE treated as case sensitive. [...] However, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts impedes interoperability and is discouraged."

Local part is the portion of a mail address before the @ character. This normally identifies a particular mailbox within a site mail system so is not usually of interest to other mail systems.

According to RFC 2822, the local-part of the address may use any of these ASCII characters:

* Uppercase and lowercase letters (case sensitive)
* The digits 0 through 9
* The characters ! # $ % & ' * + - / = ? ^ _ ` { | } ~
* The character . provided that it is not the first or last character in the local-part.

Additionally, RFC 2821 and RFC 2822 allow the local-part to be a quoted-string, as in "John Doe"[e-mail address], thus allowing characters in the local-part that would otherwise be prohibited. However, RFC 2821 warns: "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".

Notwithstanding the addresses permitted by these standards, some systems impose more restrictions on email addresses, both in email addresses created on the system and in email addresses to which messages can be sent. Hotmail, for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics and . _ - and will not allow sending mail to any email address containing ! # $ % * + / ? | ^ { } ` ~.[1]

The domain name is much more restricted. The dot separated domain labels are limited to "letters, digits, and hyphens drawn from the ASCII character set ... Mailbox domains are not case sensitive."

The informational RFC 3696 written by the author of RFC 2821 explains the details in a readable way, with a few minor errors noted in the 3696 errata.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address

Half of the links/sources in that wikipedia article you quoted are dead from my end. Decided to stop reading all that blah, blah, blah as I find it a little bit too wordy for my pea brain.

So....I sent a test email in lowercase to this lady's aol.com address 15 minutes ago. It has not bounced back as undelivered.

It's a pita for her to have to tell people "all caps" and I hope it's not that way for her. Maybe aol's improved since they originally told her that.

From someone with an AOL email account

CAPS are not required. You can email me in either caps or lowercase.
Both will reach me.

Re: It MAY matter ... http://en.wikipedia.org/ Paul

I didn't get my info from Wikipedia, but from an IT resource service that I use a lot, that keeps tabs on the goings on at the IETF. (Or at least used to use.)

The actual RFC is available at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt?number=2822

I don't know if AOL maintains case sensitive local address portions or not. IMO, they shouldn't. Many, if not most, companies that offer mail services on a broad basis, do not enforce case sensitivity.

Ok I changed my profile. I took out all the extra caps. I used my AOL Email account re write my profile. I was then able to spell checked it and then I copied and pasted it into my profile. Thanks all for all you inputs. I value it all

Thanks every one. You know if you email me in lower case, Aol changes it to uppercase and it gets delivered. The best place to get advice is "Notary Rotary" thanks.

In answer to your actual question, I reprint my invoice, I stamp it with a red stamp I bought at WalMart "Past Due" and mail it snail mail. If there's any additional information I deem necessary to send with it, such as a copy of the original confirmation, that I faxed back at the end of the signing, I may include it with the invoice.

Hope that helps.
