I'd also suggest waiting until the entire email is written and proof read before filling in the "To:" field. Often, especially on laptops, a slip of the thumb across a mouse pad on a laptop can be interpreted as enter/send. If the "To:" field is not filled out, this slip will result in no harm because the email can't be sent without someone in the address fields. This will prohibit any half-completed messages from going to recipients, thus requiring another message that says, "Sorry, the last message was incomplete, here's the remainder…"

Because this is named 'email 101' I think it's important to talk to people that may just be learning about email rules.
I have many emails that come to me as forwarded messages with lists and list of recipients. Can you explain to the novice how to delete former recipients and how and why to use BCC for multiple recipients.?
(in Entourage for Mac, you must put an address in the 'TO' box, so I always make my address that one.)
Great tips, thanks so much.

I only use bcc when I want my boss to know something important was sent, for example, to confirm that a deadline was met.

Don't send inflammatory political email to people you work with and don't know very well. I get offensive political email from a guy I work with and it just makes me angry, but I don't want to stoop to his level of hate mail. What can be done about these people who think that they are always right?

Yes, I think generally so.

My best advice is just to ignore them. The more you engage them, the more nasty they become.

If you are sending an email to multiple recipients, who should you address first? Does email etiquette require that the higher ranking officers should go first?
Thanks

Here's one the ticks me off. When the reply has the original message in it and they argue with me by changing the wording of the message and add comments in the sentence body in red…
