Email phrasing - how to set up a meeing
Hello,
I want to write an email to a colleague and my boss. I came up with several solutions to a task, and I want to hear them before going on with one of these solutions.

What would be the best subject for the meeting:

1. Consulting about our options (I know this one is grammatically wrong, you're supposed to "consult someone" or "consult with someone")
2. Talking about our options
3. Discussing our options
4. Discussing about our options
5. Anything else...

Email phrasing - how to set up a meeing
Hello,
I want to write an email to a colleague and my boss. I came up with several solutions to a task, and I want to hear them before going on with one of these solutions.

2. Talking about our options
3. Discussing our options
4. Discussing about our options

Answer

'Talking' takes 'about'.  'Discussing' doesn't 
'Discussing options' or 'Discussing the options' is great as a headline.  Headlines are not grammatically correct, as you are aware.  Preferably not use 'our' - it sounds too familiar.  
It needs to sound a little distant.

Kind regards
