Netiquette
Be sure to include a subject line. Some e-mail services sort incoming messages by
subject for the recipient. Consider using a Bcc to keep e-mail
addresses private or to ensure that the “To:” area of the message remains a small size (recipients need not scroll past several listings to arrive at the body of the message).
Netiquette, cont
Write clear and concise messages. Write short sentences and short
messages. Avoid double spacing your messages as
e-mail requires recipients to scroll through messages without the benefit of highlighting or marking the message as one might on a printout.
Netiquette, cont. Avoid the use of all capital letters.
Capitalizing all letters is considered “shouting” or flaming.
Avoid using red color font.The recipient may consider this hostile.
