E-mail’s Subject Line
Don’t let your e-mail be accidentally labeled as ‘junk’, Always give your e-mail a Subject Line. If you are busy and dash off dozens of e-mails a day, it may be tempting to skip the subject line when writing your message. Just dash off a quick note in the message body, enter or choose the message recipient, and be done with it.
While this practice may seem to save time, it can have unintended consequences. Other busy people may scan their inboxes, ignoring messages without subject lines. Even worse, aggressive anti-spam software may tag e-mail with blank subject lines as junk, meaning your quick notes never reach their intended readers.
Uppercase in an E-mail
Avoid all caps in writing an e-mail. Use mixed or all lower-case when sending e-mail. While many people think writing a subject or electronic message in all capital letter makes their messages stand out from the rest, nowadays the opposite may occur. Many people look at such practice as amateurish, and doing so may decrease the level of respect the intended recipient has for you. Others may consider using all capital letters the same as shouting, and such practice is considered rude. Worse, some over aggressive spam filters may tag messages or message subjects containing all capital letters as junk, meaning your messages may never reach their destinations.
