Email netiquette

writing it messages briefly and concisely.  
Concentrate on a topic per message and add yourselves you a meaningful
concern, so that messages can be easily regained.  Add a signature to 
the end of messages.  This signature should contain names and E-Mail 
address and not be longer than five lines.  Often the signature 
contains also the postal address, telephone numbers, URL of the own 
Web page and referring to the use of PGP writing you only then in 
block letters, if you want particularly to emphasize one point, or in 
the heading.  *  Asterisks * (interpreted by YAM as fat writing) are 
suitable also, in order to emphasize words.  Block letters outside of 
headings are interpreted general as CRIES.  Adjust YAM in such a way 
the fact that the line length is below 80 characters and does not use 
you control characters.  Do not use umlauts, if you are not safe that 
them interpret the software of the recipient correct.  It is regarded 
as extremely impolite to pass personal messages on without the 
agreement of the sender at mailing lists.  Abbreviations can be used, 
however messages are also illegible to many abbreviations.  Here a few
examples from the English:  By the way IMHO (into my humble opinion) 
of my modest opinion after BTW (by the way) FYI (For Your Information)
to your information AFAIK (as far as I know) so far I knows ASAP (as 
soon as possible) as soon as possible cu (lake you) to late using you 
that; -)  Smily, in order to indicate ironical remarks as such, 
otherwise can understand it the recipient easily falsely.  They are 
tolerant in relation to lack of a partner, e.g. concerning 
orthography, grammar, printout or Mail habits.  Do not rub it errors 
under the nose.  If you announce yourselves at a mailing list, observe
the message some time, in order a feeling for it to gotten, which 
questions are asked and which into the group not to fit.  Look at 
yourselves the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions, a list of the usually 
asked questions with responses).  It is unpleasant for the users of a 
group, if the same questions are asked again and again.  If someone 
postet a message, which does not belong into the mailing list, then 
you answer private and not into the list.  If you quote other message,
then you cut everything out, which not necessarily is necessary for 
the response.  Nobody would like to read a quoted message for the 
third or fourth time, particularly if then under it " only, I mean " 
also am.  Resist the temptation, directly in the mailing list to 
Fleming to send (insulting or reprimanding message).  Consider, the 
list are public and for constructional exchange of views meant.  Treat
the others, as you would like to be treated by them.  If you answer to
a message in a mailing list, check the address (person directly or 
list).  It can be very unpleasant, if a response, which is addressed 
to a certain person, in the mailing list appears.
