Netetiquette
|
| Unless you are using encryption,
internet E-mail is not secure. |
| Do not use all capitals
in email exchanges, it is considered SHOUTING
and is considered rude. |
| Keep in mind that the internet
is international, words and humor can be
perceived differently by different cultures.
|
| When replying to messages
be aware of "cc's". Anyone listed
in the cc: field will receive a copy of
the post. (The bcc: field sends messages
blind, meaning recipients don't know that
someone has been carbon copied) |
| Use emoticons :-) or <g>
to indicate expression. |
| If you are using email
forwarding be sure not to create a loop
in the system, in addition be sure not to
setup auto-responders to reply to every
email, or endliess loops will be created. |
| In some regions there is
a cost associated with internet connectivity
and downloading emails. Do not send attachments
without the recipients consent. |
| Be sure to include a subject
that relates to the material in the message
body. |
| Use 4-6 lines for your
signature line, this is an opportunity to
highlight your business or company information,
but don't be ostentatious.. |
|
|
| Use mixed cases and emoticons
to convey emotion and meaning. |
| |

|
| Mailing Lists &
Newsgroup Etiquette |
|
| Be familiar with lists/newsgroups
prior to posting, be aware of posting guidelines. |
| Keep in mind that newsgroups
and mailing lists are frequently archived
and that posts will be preserved. |
| If you are replying to
a message be sure to include the text of
the original message which you are replying
to. Use > indicators if your mail program
does not do this for you. |
| Don't get involved in flame
wars (material which is personal and unproductive). |
| Keep in mind that the Internet
is international, words and humor can be
perceived differently by different cultures.
|
| Use 4-6 lines for your
signature line, this is an opportunity to
highlight your business or company information,
but don't be ostentatious.. |
| When responding to a post,
keep the subject line the same, so that
it will appear in the same thread. |
| Cross posting to multiple
lists is often prohibited. |
| Expect a delay when posting
to moderated forums, this means that each
post must be approved before its posting.
|
| Anonymous posts are unaccepted
in many newsgroups. |
| Be aware that some people
use aliases when posting to Usenet groups
to avoid SPAM (unsolicited email). Also
keep in mind that anything goes on unmoderated
usenet, Moderated forums tend to have more
decorum. |

for binary attachements.. |
