      If you ever find a way around this let me know, it’s maddening. Especially overseas contacts where I have to wait a day in-between responses, sometimes it takes a week or more to get what I need.

        Write a series of single query per e-mail.

        Set then up on delayed delivery every hour through their workday.

        It only takes once or twice until people read your entire e-mails.
