Emailer 1: I need this report.
Emailer 2: I'll work on it this afternoon.
Emailer 1: Thanks? Or nothing to avoid email clutter. My inclination is no response but I don't want to be considered rude. |

| | I think that email etiquette is probably quite important when you're emailing someone at work or if it needs to be formal but if you're just quickly dropping someone a line then you could get away with some things but not all things |

|
|
| By: Lana on Oct 26, 2009 |
| | The "e" in "e-mail" actually means "electronic", as in "electronic mail". |
|
|
| By: Beth on Oct 19, 2009 |
| | Where was the question about when and how often you should grace people with jokes/chains/quizzes? I must have missed it because it is a HUGE part of email etiquette if you ask me. My personal favorite is the "Your going to hell if you don't forward this e-mail to 20 of your friend now". |

| | It is basically back to School, getting to know what is the basic, but more often than not, is ignored and forgotten |
|
|
| By: bobby on Oct 3, 2009 |
| | The "e" in e-mail stands for electronic in e-mail; but, that is short for the original meaning which is "electronic getter going mail". |
|
|
| By: Bree on Oct 3, 2009 |
| | Well people should know that using emails isn't always safe. DON'T EVER TELL ANYONE YOUR NAME OR WHERE YOU LIVE OR ZIPCODE OR STUDENT ID #. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THEY WILL FIND WHERE YOU LIVE AND KIDNAP YOU. ALWAYS USE COMMON SENCE. DON'T DO ANY OF THE ABOVE I TOLD YOU OR SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN |
