Electronic Mail and How to Use It






Electronic mail (E-mail) combines the advantage of writing with the responsiveness of the telephone. E-mail systems turn computers into in-boxes. As quickly as the term E-mail was established, the ability to communicate with different libraries and countries has increased through linking it to an electronic network such as Internet. E-mail is used widely

 

for internal and external messages and suits itself particularly well to short informal messages. Increasingly, organizations are adopting e-mail as the primary mode of internal communication. Some organizations have policies in place that treat e-mail as a business asset, not a personal asset; thus from a legal perspective, e-mail is admissible in court.

All you need to get started in E-mail is access to a computer with the right hardware, the appropriate software, and an E-mail address.

Guidelines for using E-mail:

• You will need to arrange for an E-mail address.

• Learn to write E-mail headings.

• Learn to write the body of the message entering it directly on the keyboard.

• Users of E-mail often use special abbreviations and emoticons to make their points.

In writing E-mail messages, you can depart from common writing conventions, but make sure that the speed the technology provides does not cause you to become careless. Veteran users of e-mail offer the following suggestions and cautions.

• Address one topic per e-mail message.

• Write an informative subject line.

• Keep screen length in mind when organizing.

• Make it easy for your reader to respond.

• When you respond to an e-mail message, include the context in your reply.

• Be concise.

• Re-read your message in various tones of voice to prevent misunderstandings.

• Don't forget that many people may read your message.

• Don't be too quick to push the " Send" button.

• Don't send highly confidential messages.

• Realize that e-mail cannot fully replace the need for other forms of communication.
