Accepted optional rules?

Just now getting into 1776 and Fr&In War. :)

What are the most commonly accepted optional rules that everyone uses for pbem play?

The optional rules I like to normally use include Quality Fire Modifiers, Victory Points for Leader Casualties, Rifle Fire Effects, Quality Melee Modifiers, Automated Defensive Fire, and Flank Morale Modifier.
