EMAIL ETTIQUITTE

As you know, I use email a lot. Call me anal if you must, but some people just have bad email habits. Here's some things I suggest.


1: Treat the writing of a personal email as your would writing a letter. Check your
spelling and punctuation, and DO NOT USE CHAT ABBREVIATIONS!

2: If sending an attachment,let the recipient know it's coming. Attachments are the main
tool hackers use to plant viruses and such.


3: When emailing a message to more than 1 person, use the Blind Carbon Copy setting on
your email program, so that people can't see other people's addresses.


4: Instead of forwarding, if at all possible, cut and paste the pertinent information onto a new
email, so that the reader doesn't have to look through lots of forwards to get to it.



These suggestions should make your email experience much better!
