I presume that's to short-circuit the whole… – "Can you send me the foo report?" – "Sure here it is" – "Thanks" – "No worries" If someone says 'thanks in advance', I presume it's to soften the lack of reply so I don't think it's rude. Also means I don't need to acknowledge their thanks email & we can move it from a 4 email conversation to a 2 email one. Between colleagues that are already dealing with a lot of email I'm all in favour. (Assuming I already have a decent relationship with this person)
