Do's
- Pick only the most appropriate email alias for your message.
- Make the title on your message clear as to what it contains.
- Review your messages for missing information before you click "send".
- Send text only messages, unless a word processor or spreadsheet, etc. is absolutely required.
- When replying, check that the reply goes only to the minimum number of aliases required for your message.
- Delete redundant addresses in replies before you send.
- If appropriate, consider blind copying (BCC:) other names/lists (as opposed to CC: ) so that a "reply" or "reply to all" will only come back to you.
Dont's
- Don't "reply to all" automatically on emails.
- Don't send multiple copies of the same message.
- Don't send personal replies to an email alias; send them to the individual(s) only. Examples: "Nice Job", "Thanks", " Oh great", etc.
