How do you avoid this? The article gives some tips:
* Read your emails aloud and listen for parts that could be confusing.
* For important emails, walk away from the computer and come back with a fresh perspective.
* Eudora apparently has a "Mood Watch" function, which highlights volatile phrases—one, two or three red chili peppers, depending on the burn.
