It is recommended that you be considerate with the content and tone of your
BlitzMail messages. Remember, that the privacy of electronic mail
falls somewhere between a postcard and a letter; therefore caution is in order.
The context of a conversation is not always as easily perceived as it is
in person or over the telephone. Follow these conventions to help express
yourself properly when using electronic mail:
- ALL CAPITALS ARE OFTEN INTERPRETED AS YELLING AT SOMEONE and are more
difficult to read, so don't use them excessively.
- When making a joke, add :-) to make a "smiley face." (Tip your head to the
left and you will see a face with a grin.)
- Since most electronic mail doesn't support italics, use surrounding
asterisks to indicate emphasis, for example: *oops*.
