Send Email Etiquette Hints Privately

By , About.com Guide

You know your email etiquette. Everybody else should know it, too. There's no need to show everybody that you know, however.

Send Email Etiquette Hints Privately

  • do it in a private email message.

Usually, such advice does not belong on a mailing list, and — pointing out email etiquette mistakes in the public is a good example of an email etiquette mistake.
