how do you deal with people who never answer the questions you ask in a email ?

everytime I e-mail my sister and I ask her a question, she will skip the question and never answer it directly if at all and talk about something else...which i find very frustrating and when I repeat and askd the question she says she answered my questions( which she didnt), and with a attitude too !............how more direct can I be ?

what is wrong with her...she is the only person who does this !

Update:

this has gone on for years and i have tried calling ( she never answers her phones.....prefers emails only.. which is another huge issue..she doesnt answer Moms calls either....we harldy see her or speak with her to begin with ( self centered)

Update 2:

these are not personal questions

I asked her how she acquired a certain document.. by email or postal service..and replied..dont you remember they were going to mail it to me.. ( she sent this document via email to me )...medical issues

    Depending on the question, she could be avoiding it. It might not be something that she wants to talk about. Call her on the phone and ask her straight up, maybe you will be able to get a straight answer then? Dont pry with something you know she doesnt want to talk about though, she will only get irritated and yall will probably fight. Good luck, hope I helped

    It sounds like you guys obviously have two completely different perspectives. In her mind, she just maybe answering your question. The next time I would ask her to explain how she answered it. Or better yet, why ask her in an e-mail, why not just call?? You have to figure out her way of communicating.

    You deal with it by calling them and asking the question instead of trying through email. You know she is like this so try it on the phone.

    no she is not the only person who does that I know people like that too and it is annoying and kind of rude too. I'd say just ask her things on the phone or in person she cant just ignore you :-)

    She is "into" herself... you are not that important to her. Sorry.
