E-mail Etiquettes
E-mail Etiquettes
The term etiquette refers to conventional rules of personal behavior. But while communicating via email, we cannot know about the body language and tone of voice etc. Therefore a set of guidelines for acceptable behavior on email that have been evolved is known as Email Netiquette.
Here are set of guidelines that should be followed while working with email:
-
Try to make your message as short as possible. It will make your message easy to read and understood.
-
Be careful about spelling and grammar while typing a message.
-
Use emoticons, smiles when required.
-
Email address entered must be correct.
-
The subject heading of a message should be clear and descriptive.
-
Follow the same rules as if you are writing a letter or a memo.
-
Sending a message that has already been forwarded or replied many times may contain many angled brackets. It is better to remove the angled brackets from the message.
-
While sending mails to multiple persons, specify their email addresses in the BCC: field so that the spammers cannot come to know about addresses of other recipients to whom you have sent a copy.
-
Keep size of attachment as small as possible.
-
Always add your signature at the end of email.
-
Before you send, make it sure everything is fine because you cannot call back a sent mail.
