Colors. Show self-control when emailing. Restrict yourself to one font color. Black will do the trick. Bold if you need emphasis. Don't go red, green, blue, yellow or all of the above.
If no Comic Sans, no Papyrus. Just because Avatar got away with it: http://prttyshttydesign.blogspot.com/2010/01/open... doesn't mean you can, too.
If I need a dictionary to determine the meaning of your emoticon, it has defeated its purpose.
Finally, and this is a big one, piggy backing on your third point, Ed. When the sender of an email says, "hope you can make some sense out of this" I stop reading. Email should clarify, not mystify. Don't hit send if you haven't yet sorted out for yourself what you want to say. Go meditate, take a yoga class, say a prayer. Get straight with yourself.
Then re-write the email. From a place of calm and clarity.
