NET ETHICS AND 5 NOT TO DO WITH E-MAIL

Internet etiquette, the etiquette guidelines for posting messages to online service, and particularly internet newsgroups. Netiquette covers not only rules to maintain civility in discussion example avoiding flames, but also special guidlines unique to the electronic nature of forum messages. For example, netiquette advises users to use simple format because complex formating may not appear correctly for all readers. In most cases, netiquette is enforced by fellow users who will vociferously object if you break a rule of netiquette.

The rules of email netiquette are not rules in the sense that i will come after you don't follow them. they are guidelines that help avoid mistakes (like offending someone when you don't mean to) and misunderstandings like being offended when you're not meant to. these core rules of email netiquette helps us communicate better via email.

Do You Make These Mistakes in Your Emails?

A subject like the headline above can irresistibly pull readers into opening your message and reading its every hypnotic word. Often, it will not — and what if you don't have anything to sell?

Your email's subject line is, next to your name, the first thing the recipient sees. It is important.

In your email subject, do not:

• Arouse interest and curiosity.
• Say "Hi".
• Be wordy.
• Respond without giving context.
• Be vague or general.

Write a Good Email Subject

To compose the perfect email subject:

• Give the message's bottom line.
  • If your email comprises multiple topics, consider breaking it into multiple messages.
• Summarize the message — why you are writing and what you want to be different after the recipient has read your email — instead of describing it.
  • If you invite somebody to a conference, use "Invitation: Email Efficiency Conference, Bangalore Aug 14-16" instead of a plain "Email Efficiency Conference".
• Be precise.
  • Include detail that allows the recipient to identify what you are talking about quickly and unambiguously.
• If your message requires the recipient's action, say so; preferably with the first word.
• Leave out unnecessary words.
  • Email subjects need to be concise. Skip articles, adjectives and adverbs.

Clean Up Emails Before Forwarding Them

Cleaning up such a mess can be cumbersome, but keeping an email clean that you forward initially is easy.

• First, make sure you're sharing the email, not the addresses in it by removing all addresses from the forwarded message.
  • Of course, there are exceptions. In particular, when the list of who participated in a discussion is an important part of the information you are forwarding, it makes no sense to remove the addresses.
• Then, clean up the message itself if it contains unnecessary '>' characters or messed up line breaks. Email cleanup utilities can do this nasty work for you.
• Place any comments you have after or (preferably) before the forwarded message, but try to avoid mixing forwarded text and comments.

Another Clean Forwarding Option: Attaching Emails

Alternatively, forwarding emails as attachments is an easy and clean way to share them.

Don't Forward Hoaxes

This is why you should

• not forward such a story unless you have investigated it yourself.

You will

• irritate those that do not spot the hoax and
• they will probably pass it on, causing more irritation.

Those that identify the hoax will likely send you a message notifying you that you passed on an urban legend.

If you know a message is a hoax but have a specific reason to forward it nevertheless (for scientific purposes, for example), you might want to include your reason with the message.
