Email ignorance

by tink! . Updated 18 years ago

I received an email just the other day that was directed to [b]AT LEAST[/b] 50 recipients…and they were ALL visible!

Now I could possibly see this in a small company like the one I work for where we don’t have a formal IT department or training. (Although I [b]have[/b] advised all 6 of us in the office 😀 to not put everyone in the CC or TO field)

But knowing this came from a large company – am I wrong to think that their IT dept should have briefed employees on proper email usage? I would think one of their suppliers or customers would have complained by now, prompting the IT dept to at least send out an e-memo. But I must say that in my “travels” through the internet I have noticed that all too few people know about the BCC field.

I’m surprised it even got through Spam filters (of course I should note that it was already in my junk redirect mailbox for mispelling the actual address). Quite frankly if I didn’t have the redirect mailbox – there’d be a ton of missed emails because no one seems to be able to get our email addresses spelled right!

Long time no see people! Tink 🙂
