19. Email Etiquette First and foremost, THINK about what you are sending. Would you put it on paper? Someone might print it out! Would you want it to last forever? Most systems are backed up, and most people are capable of saving email messages. Would you want it used in court? System records are subject to subpoena. Would you want it published? Some records are subject to the sunshine laws.

20. Email Etiquette Don't "e-mail angry." Be careful with confidential information. Keep it clean. Organize your message - you don't want to read something that is a mess. Content – be clear in your message Be clear in your subject line. You want the recipient to read it, People receive tens to hundreds of email message a day. And you don't want it caught in a spam filter.

21. Email Etiquette Beware of the "reply all." Briefly introduce yourself. Your e-mail is a reflection of you. Be concise and to the point Answer all questions, and preempt further questions Use proper spelling, grammar & punctuation Pay attention to the TO, and CC fields.

22. Parts of an Email Message TO: email address(es) of primary persons CC: (carbon copy) email address(es) of other people who may be involved/interested in the contents of the message. (Think FYI) BCC: (blind carbon copy) email address(es) of other person who will receive a copy, but the fact that they have received a copy is concealed from other recipients. Use this when sending an email to a group of people where you don't want to share membership/emails with the group Use it when you don't want the person bcc'd to be forced to acknowledge that they received a copy. It also stops "reply all" Subject: Is important as discussed Body: Message

23. Email Attachments A file, sent along with an email message. File format is maintained. Size is usually limited. In most email clients: Find the attach button Select the file you want to attach. Be careful of attachments Common method for breaking computers (one way or another) Don't open attachments from people you don't know/trust.

24. Final Tips Be careful when you don’t recognize the sender Notice the actual email address Don’t respond to threats – “send us your password and email before you lose all your contacts” Notice phishing emails
