Formatting (lack of)

Plain e-mail messages are plain text, with no bold, italics, graphics, etc. Keep line lengths to about 70 characters.

Avoid sending messages as HTML unless you're really making good use of the formatting or linking features. Some people won't be able to see the formatting or use the links.

Make sure your e-mail software is not automatically sending HTML copies of all messages.
