Top Mailing List Tips Take a little time to proofread your letter and make sure it's to whom you want it to go and represents you well as far as grammar. Don't write in all caps. That's considered shouting. The number-one piece of etiquette is to stay on topic for the list. Don't post some question about a topic that's unrelated.
Some mailing lists can be very narrow in scope.
Some people are not mindful of the copyright laws. You shouldn't republish whole articles out of the newspaper. Many have accidentally sent personal e-mails to dozens or hundreds of other people. When you subscribe to a mailing list, you should get an e-mail with rules of use and information about how to get off the list. Most mailing lists can be digested.
