Add smiley faces when you are joking or teasing to be sure your mail will not be misinterpreted. Using all uppercase letters makes it appear as if you are shouting, so try to avoid it. Always sign your name to your electronic communication. Your own username should always appear in your electronic messages or postings. You should never send mail that appears to be from another user, even as a joke.
Electronic mail is the sender's intellectual property.
Also, you should not forward on a message that may have sensitive or personal content without asking the original sender. Electronic mail is not entirely confidential. People don't sit around reading your electronic mail, but sometimes it is misaddressed or left on a public computer. The Honor Code applies to computers, too. Although the Honor Code was established long before computers came into use at Haverford, its principles govern honesty and fairness in computer use as well.
