Why email etiquette?

We are increasingly using email for both personal and professional purposes. As we do so, we must take into account the differences between these types of communications. We also need to remember that email messages stand alone, without us there to soften criticism with a smile or correct a misunderstanding.

I won't try to list a set of rules here, but there are a variety of web sites that do hit on some of the major "netiquette" issues.
