As I am involved in a lot of e-marketing campaigns, I would also like to add - Timing of delivery. Think ahead of when the people may be sitting at their desks or in front of their computers. Consider time zones, when they are at their busiest. Consider yourself: You arrive in the office at 9am. You have received 20 emails over night. Browse over the ones your consider important, and like most people will now highlight the ones your consider SPAM and press delete. Do you really want your message hidden in the middle of the emails people have received overnight? So, when is the best time? Well, consider when people are settling into their daily routine and feel like they have a couple minutes to read some news and when looking over an email which just came in is not too much of a task. A general rule is around 9:30am to 11am or just after people come back from lunch. Dispatching before people are about to leave the office...well, reconsider that one.

It's pretty annoying to open an e-mail thinking that it concerns an ongoing conversation and to find that someone has gone off on another related topic.

Never write in capital case" This annoys me for sure. I will delete the mail straight away. "7. Read the email before you send it" It really looks bad if you have to resend the same email after finding some critical error. “5. Never write in capital case”
This annoys me for sure. I will delete the mail straight away.

“7. Read the email before you send it”
