I reply to the sender, letting him or her know that the message did not get
to its intended recipient.  Otherwise the sender thinks everything went
through o.k.  I once had someone send a message that he was coming to stay
with me over the weekend.  What a surprise that was (and probably would
have been for the person who didn't receive the message!)  Jayne

Subject:        netiquette

I have a netiquette question that I have not seen posted on LM_NET before.
Would someone please give me some advice.  Every so often I receive e-mail
by mistake.....someone confuses the addresses.  In some cases, the mail is
personal.  Do I just delete it?  Do I let the sender know they have the
wrong address?  I don't want them to think I've been reading their
personal letters (as soon as I realize the letter is not for me, I delete
it).  What would you do?

Thanks.
