ChangeThis :: How To Be a Boor: 9 pieces of e-mail etiquette
This is one of the first manifestos from ChangeThis and
it isn't deep, it isn't even revolutionary. What it is are some
basic rules of e-mail that I think are just good to be reminded
of. Granted, it's not so bad as when the Internet population
exploded and everyone, their brother, and grandmother got online and
you were forwarded the same joke six times in one day. Still,
like Miss Manners, it never hurts to be reminded, politely.

Elly
Markson Have you ever received an email in ALL CAPS? End the madness
here, with Elly's brief but powerful guide to email etiquette.
Markson's manifesto is something you'll surely want to send along to
friends who struggle with everyday email writing. As this issue's
special “plus one” release, Elly's piece is brief enough for even the
smallest attention span.
There are five other
manifestos launched one ChangeThis. I think they all sound
interesting. I'm not likely to blog on the rest (but you never
know I might), so here are the titles and links to them. Enjoy.
The others are:
