Phil Cooke has published an excellent post regarding the dangers of email.
In his post, When E-Mail Can Get You Into Trouble, he states the case for being very careful with our electronic correspondence before giving a number of practical tips.
I’ve listed the broad headings here but you really need to head to Phil’s post to get the full story. It could save you a lot of future heartache.
1. Never say anything in an e-mail you wouldn’t want shouted from the housetops.
2. Delete your e-mails on a regular basis.
3. Personally, I need to keep certain e-mails related to business, client relationships, deadlines, etc.
4. Never tackle a really tough issue through an e-mail.
5. Don’t feel like you have to answer all your e-mail.
6. Even if you’re not the culprit, you can get implicated just because of slanderous or sensitive e-mails other people send to you.

Excellent advice from a great guy. I like Phil a lot, met him a few times, doubt he’d remember me but he’s friends with my boss.
Email has gotten me in trouble a few times, I hope I have learned these lessons.
