Do you know what most of them are? They\u2019re about email. Yes, about junky forwards, forwards with everyone else\u2019s address showing up in the cc: field, etc.<\/p>\n<p>We started thinking that perhaps many people really don\u2019t know what good email etiquette is, so here are a few (there are more) rules of etiquette to guide you. We\u2019re sure there are more; maybe you can think of some to add.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EMAIL ETIQUETTE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not send messages without a subject line<\/li>\n<li>Do not send a 2nd email to complain \u201cthe first\u201d was not answered quick enough; keep in mind some people are not on their computers every day<\/li>\n<li>Do not click reply to an old message and talk about something completely different from the subject line<\/li>\n<li>When responding to a message leave the original message intact<\/li>\n<li>Do not include oversized attachments in email; try to keep them below 500 kb, or send an email to the recipient and warn them you have a large file ready to be sent<\/li>\n<li>Do not send exe files in email; many email services will block the email<\/li>\n<li>Never pass on warnings or other alerts by email that say \u201csend to all your friends\u201d. The majority of them are hoaxes.<\/li>\n<li>Do not use \u201cSpam Challenge\u201d emails and expect people to prove themselves, especially to a company since most companies would not be able to do this. And, spammers could send these same mails and fool people into \u201cproving\u201d they exist for nefarious reasons.<\/li>\n<li>Do not use \u201cvacation responders\u201d. Your close friends will know if you are gone; everyone else can wait until you get home. If you really need to access email use a web mail account like Gmail you can access from anywhere<\/li>\n<li>Do not use or expect others to allow \u201cread receipts\u201d. If someone wants you to know your mail has been read, they will respond to you .<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t send mails with cc\u2019s of all your friends; be sure you use bcc.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t assume because you have a high-speed connection that everyone else does too. There are still many people using dial-up. Nothing is more irritating to those folks than receiving an embedded video they can\u2019t watch, or a huge embedded image that takes them fifteen or twenty minutes to download.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Email Manners Matter We\u2019ve had hundreds of readers send pet peeves.
