10 e-mail tips from the Crabby Office Lady
Posted in Communication
Have you met the Crabby Office Lady? She has been dispensing Microsoft Office tips for the past six years. (Some would say working with Microsoft products would make anybody crabby. 
)
One of her hundreds of columns deals with e-mail etiquette.
I’ve got a bee in my bonnet about the way some people are abusing their e-mail privileges. And from the sound of your letters, I’m not alone. Let’s tackle some of the bigger issues and see if we can’t make this a kinder, gentler cyberworld.
- Crab #1: Discretion is the greater part of replying
- Crab #2: Stop yelling at me
- Crab #3: Save the stationery for snail mail
- Crab #4: This is not a chain letter
- Crab #5: Too many forwards is one step backward
- Crab #6: Don’t be a cyber-coward
- Crab #7: I love you but not your 500 KB image file
- Crab #8: The subject “Re: ” means nothing to me
- Crab #9: Plain text and HTML are not buddies
Crab #10: Itchy trigger finger? Count to 10 before hitting the Send button
Read it all: Stand up straight and mind your e-mail manners
