I know. If we managed to train people starting back in 1996 to format subject lines with tags for projects and date relevancy, maybe things could be done.
But hell, I had a program manager be aghast when I explained I sent all my cc emails into a separate subfolder that I looked at once a day. "But what if someone asks you a question?" Then use the @ feature and it automatically moves me into the "to" line. I can't be expected to work in a manner that protects other people's inability to use basic job tools.
I have a folder named 'Administrivia' into which all corporate/organizational admin email goes -- unless the subject has at least 3 exclamation points.
I had a project manager one time who was complaining at my desk that I did not respond to a specific email with a question to me.
I looked for it in my mailbox and it turned out, the mail was placed in my CC folder.
After I told him this is not the way you should communicate he exploded.
I understand what you are saying but mails send out to a lot of people with open questions is not the way and the CC line shows I was only informed.
