27. When sending large attachments, always "zip" or compress
them before sending.
28. Never send large attachments without notice! Always ask what
would be the best time to send them first.
29. Learn how to resample or resize graphics to about 600 pixels
in width before attaching them to an email. This will greatly
reduce download time.
30. Never open an attachment from someone you don't know.

incoming and outgoing.

rather than attaching them all to one email to avoid clogging the
pipeline.
33. Make sure the other side has the same software as you before
sending attachments or they may not be able to open your
attachment. Use PDF when possible.

To, From, CC, BCc, RR, Subject:

34. Only use Cc: when it is important for those you Cc: to know

37. Include addresses in the Cc: field for those who you are just
FYI'ing.
38. Make sure your name is displayed properly in the From: field.
39. Remove addresses from the To:, CC; and BCc: field that don't
need to see your reply.
40. Always include a brief Subject. No subject can get your email
flagged as spam.
41. Think about your motives when adding addresses to To:, CC:,
