You've Got (Too Much) Mail
"Oh the Places You'll Go!'' by Dr. Seuss is a perennial favorite for graduation gifts. In a more practical vein, friends and family of new graduates might want to consider "Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home'' by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe.
People get into trouble all the time with ill-considered and poorly-worded e-mails. Messages forwarded to the wrong person and messages sent to everyone in the company by a careless click on the "Reply to All'' option are just two of the common e-mail offenses.
The essential message of "Send" is as simple as the golden rule: E-mail unto others as you would have them e-mail to you.
