This appeared on a list about 4 years ago and I thought it so good I kept it. It is great to review and try to remember as getting forwarded mail with tons of previous addressees taking up lots of room clogs our mail as well as the lines they are transmitted on. I delete all that stuff and cut and paste. Also I hate getting a message without something in subject line. If its on a family list then name of family, approx. year and State should be in subject, not all the other stuff so it can be easily deleted. WE must all be considerate of all others. And above all please do not -this should be a Commandment- send out VIRUS messages at random but check out to see if truly a virus. There are lots of places this can be done. These things go round and round. Lets all be considerate of each other Sarah Browder The 10 Commandments of Email Thou shalt include a clear and specific subject line. Thou shalt edit any quoted text down to the minimum thou needest. Thou shalt read thine own message thrice before thou sendest it. Thou shalt ponder how thy recipient might react to thy message. Thou shalt check thy spelling and thy grammar. Thou shalt not curse, flame, spam or USE ALL CAPS> Thou shalt not forward any chain letters,nor foward with all previous addresses included, but clean up thy forwards first. Thou shalt not use email for any illegal or unethical purpose. Thou shalt not rely on the privacy of email, especially from work. When in doubt, save thy message overnight and reread it in the light of dawn. And "Golden Rule" of E-mail: That which thou findest hateful to recive, sendest thou not unto others.
