Checking E-mails for Writing Problems

If you are interested in polishing your e-mail messages to avoid or remove writing errors and problems, (1) compose your messages in a word processor, (2) use the word processor’s spelling and grammar checkers, (3) use a copyediting and proofreading program such as Editor, and (4) save the corrected messages as text files (text only or .txt).  Then copy and paste the text files into your e-mails.

To save a step, some word processors, like Word, will send texts directly as e-mails if that function is enabled.
