E-mailMethod of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients
E-mail Guidelines1. What you say and send in an e-mail can be used against you. Fourteen
percent of workplace e-mail is subpoenaed in lawsuits (Enron)
2. Don't send sexually explicit e-mails.
3. Remember that there's no such thing as a confidential e-mail.
4. Use e-mail for work-related issues
5. Harassment and discrimination have no place in the workplace -- or cyberspace.
More…6. Assume all chain letters are a hoax. Just delete them.
7. Use the 'reply all' feature sparingly.
8. Do not forward any e-mail unless you have to
9. BCC isn't always blind. This combines the worst of the two previous warnings. When a recipient selects 'reply to everyone,' those listed in the BCC field will now show up in the new sender's 'to' field. If you don't want your BCC recipients revealed to others, send them a separate e-mail.
10. Read your company's e-mail policy.
