现代电子邮件礼仪英语大家平常在用电子邮件时,会遵守相关的邮件礼仪吗?接下来,小编给大家准备了现代电子邮件礼仪英语,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。
现代电子邮件礼仪英语1. Include a clear, direct subject line.Examples of a good subject line include "Meeting date changed," "Quick question about your presentation," or "Suggestions for the proposal.""People often decide whether to open an email based on the subject line," Pachter says. "Choose one that lets readers know you are addressing their concerns or business issues."2. Use a professional email address.If you work for a company, you should use your company email address. But if you use a personal email account -- whether you are self-employed or just like using it occasionally for work-related correspondences -- you should be careful when choosing that address, Pachter says.You should always have an email address that conveys your name so that the recipient1 knows exactly who is sending the email. Never use email addresses (perhaps remnants of your grade-school days) that are not appropriate for use in the workplace, such as "babygirl@..." or "beerlover@..." -- no matter how much you love a cold brew2.3. Think twice before hitting 'reply all.'No one wants to read emails from 20 people that have nothing to do with them. Ignoring the emails can be difficult, with many people getting notifications of new messages on their smartphones or distracting pop-up messages on their computer screens. Refrain from hitting "reply all" unless you really thinkeveryone on the list needs to receive the email, Pachter says.4. Use professional salutations.Don't use laid-back, colloquial3 expressions like, "Hey you guys," "Yo," or "Hi folks.""The relaxed nature of our writings should not affect the salutation in an email," she says. "Hey is a very informal salutation and generally it should not be used in the workplace. And Yo is not okay either. Use Hi or Hello instead."She also advises against shortening anyone's name. Say "Hi Michael," unless you're certain he prefers to be called "Mike."5. Reply to your emails -- even if the email wasn't intended for you.It's difficult to reply to every email message ever sent to you, but you should try to, Pachter says. This includes when the email was accidentally sent to you, especially if the sender is expecting a reply. A reply isn't necessary but serves as good email etiquette4, especially if this person works in the same company or industry as you.Here's an example reply: "I know you're very busy, but I don't think you meant to send this email to me. And I wanted to let you know so you can send it to the correct person."6. Proofread1 every message.Your mistakes won't go unnoticed by the recipients3 of your email. "And, depending upon the recipient2, you may be judged for making them," Pachter says.Don't rely on spell-checkers. Read and re-read your email a few times, preferably aloud, before sending it off."One supervisor4 intended to write 'Sorry for the inconvenience,'" Pachter says. "But he relied on his spell-check and ended up writing 'Sorry for the incontinence.'"7. Add the email address last."You don't want to send an email accidentally before you have finished writing and proofing the message," Pachter says. "Even when you are replying to a message, it's a good precaution to delete the recipient's address and insert it only when you are sure the message is ready to be sent."8. Double-check that you've selected the correct recipient.Pachter says to pay careful attention when typing a name from your address book on the email's "To" line. "It's easy to select the wrong name, which can be embarrassing to you and to the person who receives the email by mistake."9. Keep your fonts classic.Purple Comic Sans has a time and a place (maybe?), but for business correspondence, keep your fonts, colors, and sizes classic.The cardinal5 rule: Your emails should be easy for other people to read."Generally, it is best to use 10- or 12- point type and an easy-to-read font such as Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman," Pachter advises. As for color, black is the safest choice.10. Nothing is confidential6 -- so write accordingly.Always remember what former CIA chief General David Petraeus apparently7 forgot, warns Pachter: Every electronic message leaves a trail."A basic guideline is to assume that others will see what you write," she says, "so don't write anything you wouldn't want everyone to see." A more liberal interpretation8: Don't write anything that would be ruinous to you or hurtful to others. After all, email is dangerously easy to forward, and it's better to be safe than sorry.。
Mass Email GuidelinesUniversity of Western OntarioITS Email Working GroupUpdated June 6, 2012.Table of Contents Preamble (1)Definition of Mass Email (2)Acceptable Content (2)Focused Recipients (2)Message Format (3)Opt-Out Process (3)Scheduling and Sending Rate (4)Spam Filters (5)Noncompliance and Sanctions (5)Revisions (5)Appendix 1 (6)PreambleThese guidelines apply to the use of University email systems for sending anddistributing mass email communications.The University of Western Ontario provides electronic mail services for use bystudents, faculty, staff and other persons affiliated with the University. The Universityemail system is a vital part of the University's information technology servicesinfrastructure. It is a service provided to support necessary communication inconducting and administering the business of the University, including teaching,research and scholarly activities. Refer to Policy 1.45, E-mail Policy.Information Technology Services (ITS) has received an increased number of requests to accommodate distribution of mass emails. Distributing mass emails causes anincreased consumption of computing and networking resources which are shared by all users.These guidelines aim to outline best practices, policies and processes for the effective use of mass email at The University of Western Ontario. These guidelines attempt to strike a balance between the speed and ease of use (for the sender) of mass email,the desire to reduce reliance on paper mail and the impact on each member of thecommunity receiving unsolicited email messages. These guidelines have beendeveloped in the interest of fairness, respect for personal time and effective use ofUniversity resources.Definition of Mass EmailFor the purposes of these guidelines, mass email shall be considered to be anyunsolicited electronic mailing in which the message is sent to members of theUniversity or affiliates in a bulk fashion.Mailing ListsDiscussion amongst members of a mailing list is not generally considered mass email.However, the use of a mailing list for distributing mass email does not provide anexemption from these guidelines.Internet SpamThese guidelines do not attempt to regulate the abundance of “spam” emailsoriginating from the internet.Acceptable ContentMass email messages must pertain to University business and shall conform to Policy1.45, E-mail Policy and Policy 1.13, Acceptable Use Policy.Examples of unacceptable messages include:1.Personal messages2.Items for sale3.Jokes4.Chain letters5.Pyramid or money-making schemes6.Unsolicited commercial email7.Political campaigningThe information conveyed should be of significant value to the recipients.Focused RecipientsThe distribution list must be refined in order to ensure the message is delivered only to those for whom it is relevant. The sender of the message is responsible for defining the distribution list as accurately as possible. When appropriate, use smaller and moretargeted mailing lists rather than larger, broader lists. Recipients that no longer exist or have been disabled must be removed from future mailings to minimize bounces.Message Format1.Keep mass email messages short and message size small. Contact ITS beforesending messages larger than 50 KB.e plain-text when possible. If using HTML, include a plain-text MIME part.3.Always use a clear, descriptive and non-empty Subject: header.4.Always use a valid and deliverable envelope “mail from” address to receivebounce messages.5.Always use a valid and deliverable “From: header” address to receive repliesfrom recipients of the mass email.i.If the address in the From: header is not the intended recipient of replies, avalid and deliverable address should be specified in the Reply-To: header.6.For messages addressed to multiple recipients, the recipient list must beprotected. Do not include the recipient list in the To: or Cc: headers where itwould be visible to all recipients. Use the Bcc: header or use a mailing list.7.Do not include attachments; provide a URL link to download content instead.8.Do not include personal, confidential or sensitive information.9.Clearly identify the unit or individual responsible for sending the message, thescope of individuals being mass emailed, and the purpose of the message.10.Contact information of the sender must be included. This may be in the Reply-To: or From: headers, or may be provided in the body of the message.11.Directions for an opt-out process must be included at the bottom of the messageas described in the “Opt-Out Process” section.See Appendix 1 for a sample mass email message.Opt-Out ProcessMass email messages shall include a way for recipients to opt-out of receiving further mass emails from the sender. Clear and simple instructions for opting-out must beincluded at the bottom of each mass email message. It is the sender's responsibility to comply with opt-out requests for further mailings within three business days ofreceiving the request.The opt-out process does not apply to the following classifications of mass emails:1.Official emails from University administration or their representatives.2.Emergency emails concerning an immediate threat to health and safety,property or research.3.Emails that the recipient would expect to receive as essential to their roles asstudents or employees.Scheduling and Sending RateIn order to minimize the impact that mass email messages have on University emailand network systems, the following time-of-day and rate limits apply.During Peak-HoursBetween 6am and 6pm on Mondays to Fridays, the following restrictions apply:1.Mass emails may be sent to no more than 10,000 recipients.2.When sending mass emails to more than 3,000 recipients, schedule the mailingin the events calendar at least 2 hours in advance and for a time that does notconflict with an existing scheduled mass email. See “Mass MailingCommunications Events Calendar” below.3.The sender must control the rate of sending such that messages are sent to nomore than 100 recipients per minute.During Off-HoursOutside of 6am to 6pm on Mondays to Fridays, all day on Saturdays, Sundays andHolidays, the following restrictions apply:1.Mass emails may be sent to no more than 50,000 recipients without priorapproval from ITS.2.When sending mass emails to more than 3,000 recipients, schedule the mailingin the events calendar at least 2 hours in advance and for a time that does notconflict with an existing scheduled mass email. See “Mass MailingCommunications Events Calendar” below.3.The sender must control the rate of sending such that messages are sent to nomore than 100 recipients per minute.Mass Mailing Communications Events CalendarMass emails are scheduled in the “Mass Mailing Communications” Events Calendar.When scheduling a mass emailing, ensure that no conflict is created with an alreadyscheduled mass mailing.When booking a mass mailing in the Events Calendar, ensure that appropriate time is reserved when considering number of recipients and the sending rate described above.As an example, to send a mass email to 15000 recipients, given the 100 recipients per minute limit, 2.5 hours should be reserved in the calendar.The “Mass Mailing Communications” Events Calendar is located at:http://events.uwo.ca/cgi-bin/events.pl?Op=ShowIt&CalendarName=MassMailCommunicationsFor access to schedule mailings in the Events Calendar, please contact the ITS Help Desk (web: http://www.uwo.ca/its/helpdesk/ phone: 519-661-3800 or Ext 83800).Spam FiltersThe University email system employs spam and content filters to protect against spam and other unwanted messages. Mass email sent from outside of the University network will be filtered for spam before being delivered.It is the responsibility of the sender to ensure their sending email servers areconfigured appropriately and that their email messages are formatted and deliveredsuch that they will not be filtered as spam.The University is not responsible for any mass emails that are filtered as spam and will not make any exceptions or “whitelist” any senders to allow emails through unfiltered.This applies to all solicited and unsolicited emails.Noncompliance and SanctionsUse of University computing and networking resources for sending mass email issubject to these guidelines, as well as the Email Policy and other University policies.Reports of incidents regarding inappropriate mass email communications as theypertain to these guidelines should be referred to the Network Security Officer (email:**********).The University reserves the right to deny or remove access privileges to individuals or groups in order to protect the University computing and networking resources against excessive use or activity at the discretion of the system or network administrators, inaccordance with Policy 1.45, E-mail Policy.As email is a privilege extended to the University community to facilitatecommunication, it should be used ethically and within bounds of policy.RevisionsThese guidelines are based on best practices, applicable law and technical capabilities at the time of the latest revision and will be updated periodically as technology andother factors change.Appendix 1A sample mass email message.。

Accessible Email with Constant ContactIt’s required by federal law that all digital communications must be accessible to a diverse audience no matter their disability or impairment.Most of these best practices apply to all your digital media. This guide shows you how it specifically applies to Constant Contact.Use these high-impact best practices:1.Give your content a logical reading order from left to right and top to bottom.e readable fonts with appropriate line spacing.e good color contrast (i.e., black text on a white background).4.Describe images using alt text.e meaningful link text.6.Create structure with headers.7.Keep emails concise and use formatting to break up text.*Note: All of the templates for creating emails are accessible.1.Maintain a Logical Reading OrderEstablish a logical order and maintain a hierarchy of your email content. Irrespective of their screen size, your subscribers should be able to view the content of your email in a logical reading order.This is especially helpful for people with cognitive disabilities and subscribers using screen readers. A logical order will also help users to pull out the key information quicker by allowing them to scan the hierarchy you’ve set up by organizing your content.e Readable Fonts with Appropriate LineSpacing•Make sure your font size is at least 14 or 16 pts for the body text.•Don’t use script-style fonts for the body of your email.•Use sans serif fonts such as Arial. They are easier to read on the web.•Avoid condensed fonts and lines.•Use center-aligned text sparingly. Left-justified text is easier to read than center-aligned because the jagged left edge creates problems for people with dyslexia and other print disabilities.•Use appropriate line spacing.Figures 1 and 2 show the same content. The first one has poor color contrast and inadequate spacing between letters and lines. The second example has a good heading, good color contrast, and good spacing between letters and lines.Which would you rather read?Figure 1: Not ReadableFigure 2: Readablee Good Color ContrastWhen changing the font color or adding graphics to your email, it is important to make sure the font color contrasts well with the background.A recent design trend is to use a light gray font on white backgrounds, but it doesn’t provide enough contrast for those with visual impairments. If you want people to read your content, don’t make it hard to see. Using black font on a white background is the best option.In Constant Contact, you can change the text color by highlighting any portion of text and selecting the Edit font color button. From here, you will be able to select and adjust the color.Web accessibility guidelines state that the contrast ratio between any text and the background color should be at least 4.5:1. This is also true for adjacent colors in graphics.But how do you know if the color you choose meets contrast standards?If you want to use something other than black font on a white background, we recommend using a free accessibility checker tool like WAVE or the Color Contrast Analyzer. Both tools allow you to quickly check the contrast of any color and adjust it until it meets standards.e Image Descriptions (Alt Text)Adding text descriptions to any graphics included in your emails is important not only for people who can’t see or have low vision but also as a backup in case the image breaks or does not load properly for some users.When uploading an image into Constant Contact, the alt text is by default the filename, which is not ideal. You can add alt text to an image while you are editing an email, or you can add alt text by editing an image in the library tab. Need help finding the alt text option? See Constant Contact’s guide for a reference.You will want to change the alt text to a concise description of the image. Be sure to include any information conveyed in the image that is relevant to the user. Visit our image accessibility webpage for tips on writing alt text.e Meaningful Link TextWhen possible, you should replace all URLs with descriptive link text (also known as a hyperlink). For example, when you link to an article, the link should be the name of the article and not the website address or a vague term like “click here” or “read more.” Visit our link accessibility webpage for more information.In Constant Contact, you can easily add the link text to replace the URL when you select the Insert Link button.e Heading StructuresBreak up content with meaningful headings to make your email easy to scan. Constant Contact allows you to easily set header styles (H1, H2, H3, etc.), to identify a heading programmatically, which provides vital navigation for screen reader users with no usable vision. Once your header text is added, you will highlight the textand use the text options pop-up to add header structure. (See the screenshot below for a reference.)Sometimes it is referred to as header styles, header levels, or header tags.The big take-aways with header levels are to use them in a logical order without skipping levels and to only use one H1 header. Visit our webpage on header levels to learn more.You will still want to ensure your visual headers are formatted by enlarging and/or bolding text to create good visual headings, making it easier for sighted users to scan the content and find what’s most relevant to them.7.Keep Emails Short and Use Formatting to ChunkInformationKeep your email as simple and short as possible, use enough white space to chunk information for easy scanning, and never use tables to align or format your content. Long chunks of text can be overwhelming for users, not to mention it’s hard to scan. It is important to give proper spacing to the text using the spacers in the build tab. This will add white space and make it easy to read.You can also use headers and dividers to break up your content. People who read your newsletter must be able to scan it and digest the information in manageable chunks. Remember, people don’t spend much time in an email, so keep it concise! In ConclusionYou are required to incorporate these best practices in your Constant Contact communications to meet accessibility standards. So, take the time to organize your content logically, use good color contrast, describe images, write meaningful link text, add headings, and use a readable font with good line spacing.This will allow your message to be more effective and reach a wider audience—and you will be adhering to The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture’s policy. Remember, we all benefit from these best practices, and they are not optional. Luckily, Constant Contact makes it easy to achieve this!Note: This guide is frequently updated to reflect changes to the software. Go to /email-accessibility to download the latest guide.

Email D eliverability G uide (part2)TMO G ROUP探谋网络科技(上海)有限公司SECTION4: Authentication: Secure Your Identity and Make the World SaferEmail authentication has a proven track record but a surprisingly high percentage of businesses still haven’t implemented it. Authentication is an “ID check” for your mail streams: it validates that the email is actually from you (and not some spammer impersonating you). Authenticating your mail streams does not ensure your email will be delivered but it helps ISPs to further differentiate your business from spammers and other illegitimate senders. As fraudulent “phish” emails and other deceptive practices endanger consumers and businesses, authenticating your email is one positive step you can take today to make the [email] world a better place. Strong reputation metrics combined with properly implemented authentication can significantly improve your chances of reaching the inbox. If you’re sending transactional email, it’s even more important since your customers are expecting and anticipating those messages.How does authentication work? How do I get started? There are three accepted methods of authentication: Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Sender ID and Domain Keys identified Mail (DKIM). The best practice is to implement all three methods, especially if you have high-volume transactional email streams. Here’s what you need to do to get started: Step 1: Get details on the various types of authentication – implementing all three standards is the best practice. You can find detailed information on the following websites:DKIM: http: // www. /Sender ID: http :// www.microsoft .com/senderidSPF: http: // Step 2: Take stock of all systems that send your mail. Identify all machines that send mail for your company. Next, determine the IP addresses (if you’re planning to use SPF or Sender ID) and sending domains used.Step 3: Create your authentication records. There are excellent online tools available for Sender ID, SPF and DKIM.Sender ID: http :// /senderidSPF:/docs/email-deliverability/spf-records-voila-v alidation-verisimilitude/DKIM: http: ///documentation/apps/domain-keys/ Step 4: Publish your authentication records. If you are using SPF, Sender ID or DKIM, work with whoever manages your DNS records to publish the email authentication records you’ve collected. The actual publishing is easy; finding the responsible party who controls your DNS may be the tricky part.Step 5: Set up your mail server to sign outbound email with DKIM. DKIM requires that your MTA have the appropriate software implementation to sign all outgoing emails. Learn more at:http: ///sm/wp/dkim/Step 6: Test your authentication records. SPF, Sender ID, and DKIM provide options to publish your records in “test” mode. This provides the opportunity for testing without risking delivery failures. The following resources can also help you test your DKIM signed messages: /SECTION5: Your Emails: Five Basics to Keep Your Reputation Intact –and Your Members Happy1. ASK PERMISSION, HOST A PREFERENCE CENTERA good reputation also means that only a small percentage of your emails “bounce” back or are returned by the ISP because the account is no longer active (hard bounce) or the mailbox is temporarily full or the recipient is out-of-office (soft bounce). If a lot of your mail is bouncing back, it means your subscribers aren’t engaged and you’re not keeping up-to-date with them. It also indicates that your list hygiene practices are not up to industry standards. Sounds like a spammer? Looks like a spammer to an ISP so your email isn’t going to get delivered. Keeping your bounce rate low by implementing procedures to immediately remove “hard” bounces is essential.2. KEEP A CLEAN LIST, AVOID TRAPSA clean, well-managed subscriber list can be your best asset, whereas “dirty” lists with out-of-date information are a leading cause of deliverability failures and are sure to damage your sending reputation.List hygiene is the process of removing “bad” addresses in a timely manner. Good list hygiene practices are essential to avoiding spam traps and keeping your bounce rates low – key drivers of your reputation. There is no better way to assure consistent deliverability success than by regularly cleansing yourlist of hard bounces, unknown users and other inactive addresses. SendGrid’s real-time Event API is a great start, providing instant information like opens, bounces and unsubscribe requests for individual subscriber records.3. MAKE A GOOD START, SEND A WELCOME MESSAGEWelcome messages are the cornerstone of a well-run email program. When was the last time you signed up for a new online service and didn’t receive an immediate message confirming the sign-up?Welcome messages (like other transactional emails) are more than confirmations: they’re an opportunity to engage with subscribers and start the relationship off on the right foot.4. FOLLOW THE LAWComplying with the federal CAN-SPAM law is not difficult. The requirements are straightforward and most legitimate programs were adhering to these standards long before they were legally required.Here’s what you need to do:l Have a working unsubscribe mechanism in the footer and/or header of all email communications. Alink to your preference center is also a good idea, but make sure the removal can be done in a few clicks.l Include your official business street address in the footer of all email communications. This should be your corporate headquarters or another address where official communications are handled. It cannot be a PO Box.l Handle all unsubscribes requests within 10 business days. This means when someone asks to be removed from your list, you must suppress that email address from future mailings within 10businessdays. This is the minimum, and ideally the suppression should occur within 24 hours.5. SEND GOOD EMAILIt sounds obvious but it’s actually harder than it sounds. There is no secret formula to sending emails that work. First, make sure you’re following the four suggestions outlined above. Second, the content of your emails needs to be relevant, interesting and aesthetically aligned with your brand. Ask yourself some basic questions before you hit “send”: Will my subscribers want to read this email? Does the email look good? Is it a positive reflection of my brand? Overall, am I getting the right message to the right subscriber at the right time?。
