However, because of the nature of e-mail, it is best to consider the purpose of your message before writing. E-mail is not always the best or most effective communications medium to use.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful what you write &#8211; e-mail is neither private nor secure. Sending an e-mail is like sending a postcard so messages must be treated with caution. Do not use e-mail to discuss confidential or sensitive information. An e-mail is a permanent record and can be easily forwarded to others or intercepted on the way. Check and double check all addresses and content before you send.<\/p>\n<p>Do not use personal e-mail accounts for company business.<\/p>\n<p>We will look at more this week &#8211; stay tuned&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August I asked about your email habits.\u00a0 Here are the results&#8230; Here are some general guidelines I use for email.\u00a0 I have developed many of these and collected them and just picked them up here and there.\u00a0 If I have copied them from the net and not given credit it is because I do [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-basics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
