Make sure your caps lock key is off. Use paragraph breaks when you change directions in your thought. Try not to use one long paragraph because it's tough to pinpoint an idea in the message. Separate paragraphs with a blank line. Blank lines make the message easier to read.
Private Exchanges Remember that e-mail is never completely private.
If you send a message directly to another person, only that person receives it. But mail messages can be intercepted electronically, without your knowledge, just as cellular phone calls can be monitored. I'm confident that no one is going to try to intercept messages. But if you have something really private to communicate, talk in person. Students will lose their Internet privileges for the rest of the semester or year.
