E-mail
CIT supports electronic mail (e-mail). Use the following guidelines when e-mailing staff:
  • Be polite! Give unclear writing the benefit of the doubt.
  • No MIME-encoding or HTML
  • No unsolicited attachments
  • No autowrap - break lines by hand: Formatting is important in programs, and autowrap tends to screw up formatting.
  • Keep lines less than 70 characters in width in text - wider lines are a little more tolerable in programs
  • Use a fixed-width (monospaced or non-proportional) font, like Courier or Monaco
  • Quote relevant text from the original message to establish context
  • Add new text after the corresponding quoted text, NOT at the very top.
  • Following these guidelines makes your messages friendlier and more accessible, thus making your questions more likely to be answered. CIT maintains a list of conventions, as well. Other netiquette conventions are possible and reasonable, but this course has its own guidelines. Mixing conventions tends to lead to confusion. Therefore, please follow the course conventions.
