Detailed explanation-1: -Do not use ALL capital letters to emphasize or highlight your message. This is considered to be rude, and can be interpreted as shouting at someone in terms of email etiquette. Use diplomatic language.
Detailed explanation-2: -While all caps can be used as an alternative to rich-text “bolding” for a single word or phrase, to express emphasis, repeated use of all caps can be considered “shouting” or irritating.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is rude. Etiquette–er, netiquette–therefore strongly advises against its use. For example: Typing in all capital letters on the Internet is considered rude because it is difficult to read and comes across as very aggressive (LIKE SHOUTING!).
Detailed explanation-4: -WHEN YOU WRITE IN ALL CAPS IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU’RE SHOUTING. Using capital letters to indicate strong feeling may be the most famous example of typographical tone of voice.
Detailed explanation-5: -Caps, larger fonts, bolder and in red type will indicate a strong comment or point of view. Anticipate a reaction that is above and beyond what you may have intended. If you ask anyone to read an email out loud that includes caps, they will almost always raise their voice when reading capped text.
