I think the email from and to, belong in there with the time.
It does get a bit tedious for audio book reading but visually and braille
you can just skip that part. Ask on google see what they say but I say it
keeps the fantasy going.

Subject: [stylist] Writing a Story in the Form of Emails and Texts

Hi All,
Awhile back, I had posted a fragment of a story in second person.  
I wanted to try this format.
I have decided to forgo this format, but keep with this story idea.  The
main premise of it is that there are 2 friends, Emma and Kelly, who have
attended the same training center, but are at different points of their
lives emotionally.  One graduates first and they still stay in touch via
texts, but I might start creating emails because you can't really tell a
full story in a text.  (Well you can, but the other person would get bored).
So I was wondering your thoughts on a couple of things:
Do you recommend I use time stamps for all the texts, or does it not matter?
Sometimes when the other person is busy it takes them a little while to
respond.
For the emails, do you think I should always put each person's email adress
at the top for the "from" and "to" field?
Thank you for your thoughts.
Vejas
