[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Email and Newsgroup Etiquette by: Sharon Housley
Email Etiquette In order to effeciently communicate on the Internet it is critical to understand the unwritten rules of email communication. Please use these tips as a guideline to online email communication. 1.) Unless you are using encryption, Internet E-mail is not secure. 2.) Do not use all capitals in email exchanges, it is considered SHOUTING and is considered rude. 3.) Keep in mind that the Internet is international, words and humor can be perceived differently by different cultures. 4.) When replying to messages be aware of "cc:" field. Recipients listed in the "cc:" field will receive a copy of the post. (The "bcc:" field sends messages blind, meaning recipients don't know that someone else has received a copy of the email or been carbon copied) 5.) Use emoticons :-) or to indicate expression. 6.) When forwarding email be sure not to create a loop in the system. In addition, be sure not to setup auto-responders to reply to every email, or endless loops will be created. 7.) There can be costs associated with Internet connectivity and downloading emails. Do not send attachments that take a long time to download, without the recipients consent. 8.) Include in the "subject" line a heading that relates to the message body. 9.) Use 4-6 lines for your signature line, this is an opportunity to highlight your business or company information, but don't be ostentatious.. Mailing Lists & Newsgroup Etiquette In order to participate in news groups, you must have an understanding of newsgroup etiquette. 1.) Be familiar with lists/newsgroups prior to posting, read posting. 2.) Keep in mind that newsgroups and mailing lists are frequently archived and that posts will be preserved. 3.) If you are replying to a message be sure to include the text of the original message which you are replying to. Use ">" indicators if your mail program does not do this for you. 4.) Don't get involved in flame wars (or material which is personal and unproductive). 5.) Keep in mind that the Internet is international, words and humor can be perceived differently by different cultures. 6.) Use 4-6 lines for your signature line, this is an opportunity to highlight your business or company information, but don't be ostentatious.. 7.) When responding to a post, keep the subject line the same, so that it will appear in the same thread. 8.) Cross posting to multiple lists is often prohibited. Read posting guidelines. 9.) Expect delays in moderated forums, each posting must be approved. 10.) Anonymous posts are unaccepted in many newsgroups. 11.) Be aware that some people use aliases when posting to Usenet groups to avoid SPAM (unsolicited email). Also keep in mind that anything goes on unmoderated Usenet. 12.) Most lists don't allow for binary attachments.

the movie channel
Netscape Corporation has created the best known secure server technologies. It uses a security protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. When a client seeking to purchase the movie channel connects with a secure server, they exchange a *handshake* which initiates a secure session. With this protocol, the same server system can run both secure and unsecured web servers simultaneously. This means an the movie channel organization or company can provide some information to all users using no security, and other information that is secured. For example, a business that sells the movie channel online can have its storefront (merchandise catalog) unsecured, but ordering and payment forms can be secure. Why are these developments important? As the Internet becomes a way to buy and sell the movie channel products and services, financial transactions become essential. Right now, most the movie channel transactions involve the exchange of credit card information, either directly over the network, or by phone, to complete a transaction initiated online. Eventually, you will be able to use cash as well as credit, directly over the network. There are two basic kinds of digital cash, anonymous cash and identified cash. Anonymous cash is just like paying for the movie channel with paper cash but it also carries no information about the person making the transaction, and leaves no transaction trail. You create it by using numbered bank accounts and blind signatures. Identified cash, on the other hand, contains information revealing the identity of the person who withdrew it from the bank. Like credit card transactions, identified cash can be tracked as it moves through the system and involves fully identified accounts and non-blind signatures. Whether you use digital cash when purchasing the movie channel is entirely up to you. We suggest you employ the purchasing avenues available from the the movie channel supplier we recommend.
