“E-discretion” is definitely very important. I have received plenty of emails with typos from people that should have appeared more professional. However, not only are typos an important issue but also the appropriateness of an email’s content. Many companies can see and keep track of things that are done on the company’s network. At one job I use to work at an employee had been recently fired for this very thing (and other things as well). The company had kept a record of numerous inappropriate emails that he had sent from his work site. It is important to make sure everything you send over the internet is something you wouldn’t mind keeping a record of.

I think “e-discretion” is a very important topic that has not really been addressed to the extent that it should be. Most email systems now have a spell check system, however, I cannot begin to express how many times I’ve gotten an email that contains the words, “forgot to attach.” I agree with this blog in that people need to be more careful in double checking their emails, especially CEOs!
