Email Etiquette

1) When you forward an e-mail,
 DELETE all of the other addresses that 
appear in the body of the message (at the top). 
That's right, DELETE them. 

Highlight them and delete them, 
backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. 

It only takes a second. 

You MUST click the "Forward" button first and then you will have 
full editing capabilities against the body and headers of the message.

 If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit 
the message at all.



(2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, 

do NOT use the To: or Cc: fields for adding e-mail addresses. 

Always use the BCC:(blind carbon copy) field 
for listing the e-mail addresses. 

This is the way the people you send to will only see 
their own e-mail address. 

If you don't see your BCC: option 

click on where it says To: and your address list will appear.
 
Highlight the address and choose BCC: 
and that's it, it's that easy.
 
When you send to BCC: your message will automatically say 
"Undisclosed Recipients in the "TO:" field 
of the people who receive it.



(3) Remove any "FW :" in the subject line. 

You can re-name the subject if you wish or 
even fix spelling and take all the junk [emotions etc] off 
the end of the e-mail as well !!



(4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail
 you are reading. 

Ever get those e-mails that you have to open 10 pages 
to read the one page with the information on it? 

By Forwarding from the actual page you wish someone to view, 
you stop them from having to open many e-mails just to see what you sent.



Learned this from a great gal!
