Using smilies
There are generally agreed guidelines for using
e-mail and some of the most important are listed
here.
• Always fill out the subject line on your
message to help recipients decide when
(and whether) to read your message.
• Pause before you send an e-mail you might
later regret.
• Don’t type in all capital letters; YOUR
MESSAGE WILL LOOK LIKE YOU ARE
SHOUTING!
• Don’t send messages you wouldn’t want to be
forwarded by the recipient (at least not
without adding a “for your eyes only” note).
• Don’t send confidential or secret information
such as credit card information) through non
secured e-mail.
