Send e-mail that is clear, concise, and considerate of
recipients' needs.
Spelling and grammar count.
Respect your correspondents' time.
Treat e-mail you receive as private.
Never assume that e-mail you send will remain private.
Don't trust any message that reads "Forward this to all your
friends."
Read the manual -- learn about your e-mail program's capabilities
and the technology and culture of the Net. But don't be rude to those
who know less than you do.
