B)Be aware that many companies now have formal email policies that specify how employees can use email,including restrictions against using company email service for personal messages and sending material that might be deemed objectionable.Many employers now monitor email,either automatically with software programmed to look for sensitive content or manually via security staff actually reading selected email messages.Regardless of formal policies,every email user has a responsibility to avoid actions that could cause trouble,from downloading virus-infected software to sending inappropriate photographs.Jokes of any kind are not suitable for most business communication,and racially charged ones are not acceptable in any business environment.Even if you deleted them,specially programmed software or security could still read it.
