The Net: User Guidelines and Netiquette
- by Arlene Rinaldi
ELECTRONIC MAIL AND FILES
USER RESPONSIBILITY

The content and maintenance of a user's electronic mailbox is the
user's responsibility:
- Check E-mail daily and remain within your limited disk quota.
- Delete unwanted messages immediately since they take up disk
storage.
- Keep messages remaining in your electronic mailbox to a
minimum.
- Mail messages can be downloaded or extracted to files then
to disks for future reference.
- Never assume that your E-mail can be read by no one except
yourself; others may be able to read or
access your mail.
Never send or keep anything that you would mind seeing
on the evening news.
The content and maintenance of a user's disk storage area is the
users responsibility:
- Keep files to a minimum. Files should be downloaded to your
personal computer's hard drive or to diskettes.
- Routinely and frequently virus-scan your system, especially
when receiving or downloading files from other systems to
prevent the spread of a virus.
- Your files may be accessible by persons with system
privileges, so do not maintain anything private in your
disk storage area.
