Every now and then I poll people on what cc means, and it's surprising how many people don't know it stands for carbon copy, and was meant as a way for people who were receiving a letter to know what other people were copied on the letter as well. All parties, the to and cc generally had some responsiblity to respond in some fashion to the letter.<BR/><BR/>People now use it as a way to include the world on their message, and assume that if you "might" have a task to put you in the cc. If you expect someone to respond in any way, put them in the to field. Cc should only be used if you really just want to include the person on the message, but don't expect them to read it. <BR/><BR/>A while back I started filtering my mail to immediately move all cc: email to a seperate folder that may or may not ever get read. Funny thing happened...nothing.Kevin Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847572255483184250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-58562452360194709582007-02-16T15:32:00.000-08:002007-02-16T15:32:00.000-08:00Ah - The Emily Post Institutehttp://www.emilypost....Ah - The Emily Post Institute<BR/><BR/>http://www.emilypost.com/ <BR/><BR/>right, I understand.The Alpha Coursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519878701257862696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-83436305151094354482007-02-16T13:45:00.000-08:002007-02-16T13:45:00.000-08:00commentsRaya - yeah IM or an actual telephone!

LOL.<BR/><BR/>My 2 cents - I also hate people that send to a whole group and do not use BCC to hide all the addresses. So you get this whole big list of people's email addresses that you don't know or care about. Then everyone starts hitting "reply to all" and I can a zillion more the same!!!

I forwarded it to everyone in my really big company (day job).<BR/><BR/>I marked it as urgent, confidential, high priority w/ read receipt. <BR/><BR/>BTW -- why do so many people use the silly read receipt for ALL OF THEIR MESSAGES? What a worthless option. I always check "do not send read receipt" -- I mean who cares if 213 people read (err...<I>opened</I>) the message that says "the copier is broken, a service call has been placed." Who gives a turd????<BR/><BR/>Oh, wait, back to that Emily Post stuff...Daniel J.
