I think it is better to add an pdf attachement with technical informations, or making it reference on the project management collaboration (if any).

Good tips Laura! I always look forward for any advices like yours – to ensure myself I remember about all rules ;).

Anyway personally I don’t like when people are sending huge attachments (like 10mb+), especial without anticipation.

My biggest tip: SPELL CHECK!!!

Besides that, go easy on your signature. By that I mean don’t use an image in your signature (or worse, as your signature). Very easy to have that signature be the reason why your email gets bounced in a spam filter before it even makes it to the inbox.

There are so many great tips here. And it makes me rethink and remind myself to be polite and not fire off a message that could be misunderstood!

Sometimes it’s tempting to send angry emails (#6) so I make a rule for myself never to reply straight away to an email that annoys me, come back and reply later. Usually by that point my rage has moved on :)

Like the post. Thanks! #1 is definitely a must. Hate it when I get emails was obtuse subjects. I read another one on email tips here that was pretty good too.
