- NEVER TYPE IN ALL CAPS. THAT’S LIKE SCREAMING. REALLY!
- Be wary of any kind of attachment - even if it comes from someone you know.
- If a file you wish to send is larger than 2MB, think twice before sending it.
- HTML stationery is annoying; if you don’t need to use it, don’t.
- Use BCC instead of CC to keep other email addresses private.
- Don’t delete relevant information when you reply to someone.
- If you can’t spell well, rememmber to run a spell check before sending.
- Try to keep your messages as short as possible - you’re not writing a novel.
- Never send emails when you’re mad - wait until you calm down first. Trust me.
- Triple-check that you’re not sending a message to someone who shouldn’t see it.
- Remember that when you send something electronically, it has the potential of “living” forever.
- Before you forward an email joke, make sure it’s funny first. Please?
