Email symbols

@ "at"

The @ symbol “at sign” separates a person’s online user name from his mail address.

“_” Underscore

This symbols usually use to underline words, but we use in the Email to créate a visual spacing within a sequence of characters, because white space is not permitted. 

(-) Dash

Is a punctaiton mark similar to minus sign, but this we use like the underline to créate a visual space, because white space is not permitted in the Email addres. 

“/” Slash

Actually this symbol is not very común to use in the Email.

“.” Dot

The symbol is used as a delimiter in the Email or a visual spacing because we can’t have white space.

 “:” Colon

This symbol is use to explain or star an enumaration. But in the Email isn’t comun to use just like visual space.

“;” Semicolon

The symbol is used to separate elements of a string of text just in some Email clients have to delimted by semicolon.

“,” Comma

Is a punctation mark as a apostrophe or closing quotation mark in many typefaces. In the Email we just use like visual space because must be a white space.
