Email

Etiquette:
- Don't type in ALL CAPS
- When forwarding or replying to mail, include copy of the original
- When forwarding or replying to groups, think twice about whether it needs to go to the whole group!
- Hoax emails – http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html visit Symantec's great list of email hoaxes! Always check if an email virus warning is in this hoax list before you bother forwarding it. Another good site to check is http://www.us.sophos.com/virusinfo/hoaxes/
