Netiquette guidelines
• Be conservative in what you send and liberal
  in what you receive. You should not send
  heated messages (we call these "flames")
  even if you are provoked.
• On the other hand, you shouldn't be surprised
  if you get flamed and it's prudent not to
  respond to flames.
2nd rule
• Make things easy for the recipient. Many
  mailers strip header information which
  includes your return address. In order to
  ensure that people know who you are, be sure
  to include a line or two at the end of your
  message with contact information. You can
  create this file ahead of time and add it to the
  end of your messages.
3rd rule
• Be careful when addressing mail. There are
  addresses which may go to a group but the
  address looks like it is just one person.
• Know to whom you are sending.
• The result can be … bad?!
4th rule
• Just as mail (today) may not be private, mail
  (and news) are (today) subject to forgery and
  spoofing of various degrees of detectability.
• Apply common sense "reality checks" before
  assuming a message is valid.
5th rule
• Delivery receipts, non-delivery notices, and
  vacation programs are neither totally
  standardized nor totally reliable across the
  range of systems connected to Internet mail.
• They are invasive when sent to mailing lists,
  and some people consider delivery receipts an
  invasion of privacy. In short, do not use them.
• The end? No, there’s plenty of it left… for
  another time…
