The 10 Commandments of Email
· Thou shalt include a clear and specific subject line.
· Thou shalt edit any quoted text down to the minimum thou needeth.
· Thou shalt read thine own message thrice before thou sendeth it.
· Thou shalt ponder how thy recipient might react to thy message.
· Thou shalt check thy spelling and thy grammar.
· Thou shalt not curse, flame, spam or USE ALL CAPS.
· Thou shalt not forward any chain letter.
· Thou shalt not use email for any illegal or unethical purpose.
· Thou shalt not rely on the privacy of email, especially from work.
· When in doubt, save thy message overnight and reread it in the light of dawn.
And here's the "Golden Rule" of Email:
· That which thou findeth hateful to receive, Sendeth thou not unto others!
