Email is the main reason so many people are online. As long as everyone shows a little consideration and adheres to a few friendly guidelines, we can make this online community a happy one.
Email is fine for getting a message across and sorting out meetings, but it can be a bit dull, which is where file attachments come in. For instance, if you see a funny cartoon on the Net that you’d like to share with your mate, by all means send it, but check that it’s fine by them first. Their email account may have a limit on such things ? they may only be able to accept straight text, or files up to a certain size.
