Most of my work is in some way connected with collaborative processes and media use -- with email as one of the major media use.

Hi All,
I was wondering if people can point me to articles and studies on email use and collaboration - are there any studies that show how collaboration occurs via email? Also any studies that look at how many recipients per message?
