I can see that happening with love letters, certainly when sent over snail mail, but with business mail? That “marketing operations manager” needs help; I don’t see why the world would have to accommodate to suit him.
Also: I found that it helps to have a rule in your email client that says “if I am not in the To: field, move this to the folder called CC”.
That is a folder you can safely (1) ignore.
Similarly, one _could_ add a rule “if there are over 3 people in the To: field, move this to the Read Later folder”, but that is quite risky.
(1) not quite, as long threads may evolve to contain questions for you without people adjusting the list of addressees, but that’s the fault of the senders.
Good suggestions, might use myself.
Also, my favorite rule is 'discard emails with empty subject'. I'm teaching an university class, and the younger generation seems to not understand the ethics of email.
