K:How can business travelers increase their effectiveness while dealing with people from other cultures (in person, on the phone, in email)?
C:The fastest and easiest way is to model the style of someone in person, on the phone, and by email.
这两段对话里的介词in email和by email表达的是同一个意思吗?in,on是同样的用法吗,表示是以……方式吗?
简单点说,
### 我想去张三那谈某事,后来想想还是不去了,通过email来解释吧 ---> by email
### 要与老张谈的事有三点,都列在email 里了 ----> in email
这是它们最基本的含义,
但问题是,有时“用email”可以是上述两者的中的任一种。虽然含义不同:
I will talk about it later in/by email. --- 对方都只好等那邮件了。
可以有in email 的原因,是email可作不可数名词。

然后就是类似 in his car/by car这种区别,可以说in my email, 但不可说 by my email
如,I have attached some sample pictures in my email.
