    I just write hi or good morning or whatever, follow it by an empty line, and then my question. In the same message.

      I always put “Hi” and the topic in the first line so they have a chance to estimate what it’s about from the little preview blurb and decide whether to pivot their headspace that way now, later or not at all

      This probably isn’t an audience that needs to hear this - but you can add a line break with ALT+Enter in Teams.

      Getting a flood of short messages instead of 2 paragraphs drives me crazy.

        I thought it was ctrl + enter but to be fair most things are muscle memory at this point so I don’t actually remember things, I just do them

      I’m the opposite … I put my request in first and then do my pleasantries:

      “could you look into this for me?”

      “btw good morning”
