Top 20 Most Important Rules of Email NetiquetteThe rules of email Netiquette are not "rules" in the sense that I will come after you if you don't follow them. They are guidelines that help avoid mistakes (like offending someone when you don't mean to) and misunderstandings (like being offended when you're not meant to). These core rules of email Netiquette help us communicate better via email.
Don't send anything you don't want to send. "Reply" is good. "Reply to All" is better. Right? Do not intimidate recipients with too much text. Do you think quoting original text in your email replies perfectly is a lot of work? Don't let the '>' intimidate you! Here's a very comfortable, relaxed, quick and still clean and compatible way to reply properly. Forwarding emails is a great way of sharing ideas, but make sure the original idea is not hidden in obfuscation. Not everybody can receive your fancily formatted emails. Some may even react furious. To be safe rather than sorry, send plain text emails only when in doubt. Email hoaxes often contain stories that are intriguing, and sure to irritate. Here's how to spot and stop urban legends. Make sure you're not spreading worms and viruses via email or act as a vehicle for spreading spam. All this can be caused by malicious emails. Fortunately, there's protection. Don't use smileys to say something you should not (and don't intend to) say in emails. Did the spam filter eat my message? Spare others this nagging question and let them know you got their email. |
