10 Rules for Good Email Etiquette
1.
Use the subject field to
correctly and honestly indicate content and purpose -- your
recipient can use it to prioritize message importance.
2.
Use proper spelling,
grammar and punctuation -- this is not Instant Messenger.
3.
Reread your email before
sending it to catch and correct mistakes -- better yet, set the spell
check option (Tools, Options, Spelling Tab) to review your
work.
4.
Use the blind carbon copy
if you are sending a message to a number of people and you need to
protect their privacy -- BCC doesn't disclose their email addresses.
5.
Be careful about using
the Reply to All -- you rarely need to respond back to everyone
involved.
6.
Do not use read receipts
unless you really need to know that your message was opened.
7.
Don't overuse the HIGH
PRIORITY, URGENT and IMPORTANT options.
8.
Respect the value of
others' time -- don't forward chain letters or junk mail.
9.
Use a signature that
includes contact information in every email.
10.
Don't write in CAPITALS
-- it means that you are yelling at your recipient.
