>n after failing at it many, many times is that in the vast majority of cases an email can only say one thing;

This sounds much. Quite often I have to send people complicated lists of instructions to complete a task. Around half the time the remote party only does the first step.

With this type of user I've started removing the top entry on the list and sending the first email.

Around the 4th time I do this the user tends to catch on and completes the original list of instructions solving the problem at hand.
