This is a story about a new subset of e-mail etiquette. Call it wireless politeness. An increasing number of e-mail messages are being received on small, wireless devices with limited screen space — devices such as Windows Mobile-based Smartphones. Being polite is still important. But so are a number of other considerations, including brevity, diction and consideration for bandwidth."</i><br /><br />For most of us, these 7 tips are nothing new or surprising. However, I have received more than a couple emails to my phone via my private alias (MobileMike at Private Domain dot com) that violate some or all of these rules. The only people that have that alias are people who should know better. So, with that in mind, I'm posting this on the front page for everyone as a reminder. Be nice to the mobile users! :wink:
