Best practices

To avoid spyware, pop-ups and other annoyances use the Mozilla Firefox browser instead of Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Avoid sending HTML formatted emails. Use text instead (see why).

Avoid sending Microsoft Word documents as attachments (learn why).

Avoid saving files in program/platform specific formats when possible. For example, in Word save as rich text format (RTF) or text and in Excel save as tab or comma delimited text files.

On Microsoft Windows run anti-virus software and avoid opening email attachments that you are not expecting ( learn more).
