That's a nice question ! The main thing is "is this list more EmailLike or MessengerLike"
When I speak on Messenger (or any instantaneous conversation software) I send a lot of very small messages, like "+1", it's interactive, I'm expecting a short answer. If I say something stupid, I undo, if I can't undo because the delay of my client is done, I send another message beginning with "Oops" or something obvious. It's the EAFP (Easier to ask for forgiveness than Permission) style. The point is "looking ar my first few words, people understand the message" When I speak on TraditionalDifferedEmail, I'm more like LBYL (Look before you Leap), I write a long, but structured message, such that people see first the structure, (intro, body, conclusion), and look in the message if they want.
