Not so much policy, just etiquette.

http://www.dcglug.org.uk/wiki/?id=email+etiquette

Summary:

1. Do not top-post.
2. Snip. (Remove all content that does not directly relate to your
response.)
3. Do not send HTML.
4. Don't get involved in flamewars, do not feed trolls and do not
provoke flaming.
5. Keep private stuff off-list.
6. Use a real name, not a nickname in your email client configuration
(one or two may need to take heed of that one).
7. No test messages.
8. If you reply to a message, click reply - don't start a new thread.
If you want to start a new thread, click Compose|New - don't reply to an
unrelated thread.
9. Use [OT] at the start of the subject if your message is off-topic.
10. One last one - if you change the subject of a thread, change the
subject line in your reply, as above.
