Remember that copyright and slander rules do apply in cyberspace. You are legally responsible for the messages you post. Always proofread your message before you send it. Check for grammar or typographical errors that may make it difficult for readers to understand you. Just as in a memo, be specific about the e-mail's subject.
Some members routinely discard untitled messages or messages with vague subject headers.
With the high volume of daily subscriber e-mails, clear subject lines can pique users' interest, as well as save their time. Although the Internet is a wealth of information, professionals need to be selective in its use. Bulletin boards and listservs are best used for networking, benchmarking, and other practices, rather than researching a law or conducting a salary survey, for example.
