GEN: A Beginner's Guide to Effective Email (Website)

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET Colleagues

Although LM_NET has its own netiquette, it is not possible to anticipate
all problem situations and give examples for every instance. So, I would
like to recommend a Website that offers some helpful e-mail information,
one that I have used as a resource link for my workshops for a number of
years.

A Beginner's Guide to Effective Email (Revision 2.0), maintained by
Kaitlin Duck Sherwood is quite a helpful resource for both new and
experienced e-mailers. Includes topics are: What makes e-mail different,
context, format, page layout, intonation, gestures, status, formality,
greetings and signatures. There is an article on why she doesn't like
electronic greeting cards, and she even has a poem about the hyphen in
e-mail! URL:  <http://www.webfoot.com/advice/email.top.html>
