53. Even though it isn't right; emails are forwarded to others. Keep
this in mind when typing about emotional or controversial topics.
54. When there is a misunderstanding by email, don't hesitate to
pick up the old fashioned telephone to work things out!
55. Know that how you type, and the efforts you make or don't
make will indicate what is important to you and if you are an
educated courteous person.
56. If you forward an email that turns out to be a hoax, have the
maturity to send an apology follow up email to those you sent the
misinformation to.
57. When filling out a contact form on a Web site, do so carefully
and with clarity so your request is taken seriously.
58. If a friend puts your e-mail address in the To: field with others
you do not know, ask them to no longer expose your address to
strangers without your permission.

Business Email

59. Think of your business email as though it was on your
business letterhead and you'll never go wrong!
60. If you cannot respond to an email promptly, at the very least
email back confirming your receipt and when the sender can
expect your response.
61. Emailing site owners about your product or service through the
site form is still spam. Ask them if they want more info first!
62. When replying to emails always respond promptly and edit out
unnecessary information from the post you are responding to.
63. Formality is in place as a courtesy and reflects respect.
Assume the highest level of formality with new email contacts
until the relationship dictates otherwise. Refrain from getting too
informal too soon in your email communications.
64. Never send anyone an email they need to unsubscribe from
when they didn't subscribe in the first place!
65. Be very careful how you use Reply to All and Cc: in a
business environment. Doing so for CYA or to subtlety tattle can
backfire and have your viewed as petty or insecure.
