The way to handle this is to say,"Please remember that email is not secure. Once you send this, everybody and anybody can know about it".
You might further reinforce your point by telling him about encryption and how to use it. That might or might not require a technological update for you.

Group ask is when other people ask a question that is important to you. You can join group ask and have a hand in determining the best answer. The best one that has ever been on this site in my opinion was "What is the best way to cook a steak".

I would put it basically like you have here. Start of with a compliment, as you indicated above, then lead to where he needs improvement. I would say something among the lines of, you know, you are very well spoken and here are some ways to better convey that in writing. Give him some tips. If he gets defensive just try to explain that many people are not very good at expressing themselves in written form. There is always room for improvement in every person.

I would put it basically like you have here. Start of with a compliment, as you indicated above, then lead to where he needs improvement. I would say something among the lines of, you know, you are very well spoken and here are some ways to better convey that in writing. Give him some tips. If he gets defensive just try to explain that many people are not very good at expressing themselves in written form. There is always room for improvement in every person. In order to do well in business, you have to communicate properly. Email is the way everyone communicates these days and when you conquer that, it would vastly improve your business.

I think E-mail & mail are so impersonal with a subject like yours. Since this means so much to you, it should be discussed face to face. Maybe your husband accompanying you & his partner to an informal luncheon would give you both some encouragement to speak about this problem. Even your husband may have some suggestions on how to put it nicely to him. He probably knows the partner better than you because he works with him every day.

It seems like you already know what to say, now you just need to find the appropriate place and time. I would talk to him about it when your husband is there so he knows your husband is feeling the same way. Make sure you have a box of tissues ready just in case he cries.

I think that’s a difficult proposition for most people, but in truth it’s possible to give positive criticism (regarding business emails) with kindness and have a decent chance of having the person take it constructively.

I think that’s a difficult proposition for most people, but in truth it’s possible to give positive criticism (regarding business emails) with kindness and have a decent chance of having the person take it constructively.

How to Deliver Criticism Kindly (and Not Criticize At All)
Looking at the above reasons that criticism isn’t taken well, the keys are:

* Don’t attack attack, insult, or be mean in any way
* Talk about actions or things and above all targeting how to flourish business , not the person.
* Don’t tell the person he’s wrong.
* Don’t criticize at all.

But … what about giving kind criticism? How do you help someone improve, see the changes you want, or contribute to a meaningful discussion?

By offering a specific, positive suggestion instead.

So instead of criticizing, which is rarely taken well, offer a specific, positive suggestion. Let’s take a look at the elements of this method, why it works, and how to do it:

* Suggestion, not criticism. As people sometimes will assume that you’re attacking them personally, no matter how nice your criticism and how much you focus on actions, a criticism is often not the way to go if you want
1) for them to improve;
2) to see actual change; or
3) to contribute to a meaningful discussion. Instead, suggest a change.
A suggestion can be positive, it can be seen as helpful, it can be seen as an instrument for improvement and change. People often take suggestions well (but not always). So a suggestion is more useful than a criticism in many cases. Not always — sometimes it can be useful to give a nice criticism if someone is open to it. But in many cases, a suggestion is better.
* Positive. Much criticism is negative. That hurts the discussion, because things can take an ugly turn from there. It hurts the person receiving it, making it less likely that they’ll take it as a way to change. Instead, be positive: “I’d love it if …” or “I think you’d do a great job with …” or “One thing that could make this blog even better is …”. And don’t do it in a sarcastic way … be genuinely positive. This keeps the discussion positive, and people are more likely to receive it in a positive way.
* Specific. It’s easy to give vague criticism: “You’re a sucky writer,” “I can’t stand this blog,” or “You really should write better posts … this one is lame.” Anyone can do that. Being specific is more difficult: “I don’t like to see numbers in your headlines all the time,” “The first two paragraphs of your posts are long and rambling,” or “Your face is lumpy.” It’s harder still to make a specific, positive suggestion: “I’d love to see more images of kittens on Zen Habits,” or “Make my day and write a post about how to criticize your boss without him knowing you’re doing it,” or “I would appreciate fewer ads and more content.”
* Be kind. It’s important that you be gentle and kind in your suggestions. People have a hard time accepting any criticism, gentle or not, but if it’s harsh, it’ll almost always have bad consequences. Instead, ask yourself, “Would I like to hear that about myself?” And: “If so, what would be the nicest way to say it?”
* Relate to actions. Never criticize the person. Always criticize the actions. And when you’re making suggestions, make suggestions about actions, not about the person. Not: “Maybe you could become a less lumpy person?” Better: “I suggest you get face smoothener … it did wonders for me!”

Now concluding above I would suggest you propose your husband's business partner saying" Look at this : Smart Email Software which organises your tasks more effectively and which will grow your business manifold I suppose" and ask him to read this topic:

I hope he will take your suggestions positively and which will then make him think to change his email writing for good.

Good Luck.

Either way you decide to answer the question, you may end up hurting feelings but it may be worth it in the long run. You can start out by telling him that this emai may hurt his feelings but you feel it is improtant for him to know. Or at the end of the letter you can tell him that you are sorry if the email offended but him bit you are just looking out for his best interest.
