Email Etiquette

Rules to follow before sending email:

• * When sending to multiple contacts, use BCC instead of CC to keep other email addresses private.
• * NEVER TYPE IN ALL CAPS. THAT’S LIKE SCREAMING. REALLY! I kNeW sOmEoNe WhO wOuLd tYpE eVeRyThInG lIkE tHiS. IT'S ANNOYING!
• * 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 (200 kb for dialup's), think twice before sending it.
• * HTML stationery is annoying; if you don’t need to use it, don’t.
• * Don’t delete relevant information when you reply to someone.
• * If you can’t spell well, rememmber to run a sepll chcek before sinding.
• * Try to keep your messages as short and brief as possible - you’re not writing a novel.
• * Check Snopes.com before forwarding info that sounds too good to be true.
• * 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, please make sure it’s funny first.
