people will already ignore half the questions you ask in an e-mail even if you make them into bullet points
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.
