1. Ask yourself if you would CC yourself. Easy with the CC.
2. BCC says more about you than the person you're BCC'ing.
3. BC: One of the all-time great comic strips.
4. Not only should you assume that every e-mail you send will get forwarded to someone else, you should assume that every e-mail you send will someday be read aloud in a court of law. Discretion.
5. If your message is less than seven words, put it in the subject line.
6. An e-mail signature should not involve words of wisdom. Not Aristotle. Not Gandhi. Not Hayley Williams of the chart-topping rock band Paramore.
7. Unless someone's in grave danger, no exclamation points.
8. Related: Grave danger is best addressed via a medium other than e-mail.
9. ALL CAPS. No.
10. small caps. No.
11. wHaTeVeR YoU cAlL tHiS. Absolutely not.
12. When in need of a font that's a little bit fun, a little bit earnest: look to Helvetica.
13. Verdana? Please.
