nuqneH does not mean "hello".
If I initiate an e-mail thread why would I start with "what do you want?"
when I'm the one that wants something?
Don't use a greeting. Just start writing (talking). The fact that you see
the message in your in-box gets you attention the same as "hello" would.
And you shouldn't throw a newbie a single phrase like "taH pagh taHbe'" and
expect him to figure out how "to be" works in klingon.
Leave "KLBC" for the grammarian.
