There are a lot of opinions out there on what is proper email etiquette. As a rule, I've always liked to say thank you or acknowledge an email receipt.
Yet this is becoming a questionable practice given the number of emails some people get in a day.
So I'm beginning to be careful about to whom I write a thank you, or in fact whose email I acknowledge. If an email says "I'll get back to you", then isn't it somewhat redundant or even pushy to say "Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you"?
At that point it could be said that they could write back to you and say "Yes I will" or "Me too", and then you'd have to answer again. This could result in an endless number of polite yet totally unnecessary emails.
I'm not sure about what the correct protocol is, but then again, I don't know how many folk do...and what's right for one person, might be wrong for another.
Which means there is no real solution to this quandry...so I decide to mix it up and judge the scenario based on the individual...and I hope that I get it right!
