For those of us who have become accustomed to its convenience, electronic mail can become the preferred communication method for everything. However, before you send that list of grades, or criticize your colleague, be aware that e-mail is not secure.

E-mail communication has been compared to sending a message on a postcard: able to be read by certain people along the way and at the destination. Furthermore, like a postcard, once in the hands of the recipient, e-mail may be passed along to others, or even end up on a bulletin board somewhere!

The bottom line is, don't send (or keep) anything through electronic mail that you would be upset to see made public!
