how to cite an email
If you need to formally cite an email in a reply, you can use the guidelines set by the American Psychological Association (APA). 1. Open the email you want to cite. 2. Create a new email message. 3. Copy any text you want to quote from the original email. 4. Paste the text into the new email message where you want it placed. 5. Type the following after the pasted text (omit the quotation marks): J. Doe (personal communication, September 15, 2011).. Replace the date with the date of the original email.
