If you are willing to look like you have a bit of an affectation, you might try doing a standard greeting at the beginning of mails, viz

Quote:
Hi, it's David.

I was looking at the profit reports and...
People will just get used to your greeting as a standard thing, a kind of politeness of identifying yourself to correspondents, quickly learning to accept it and skip over it.

But your first name will be there.

You have to do this on virtually all e-mails so it doesn't look like just people who get your name wrong are getting corrected. You may skip it for very formal e-mails (Dear Ms. Spenklehorn...) or short injective emails (Got it! David) but it should look like a habit, an affectation, not a correction.

That's my suggestion, anyway..
