oh dear

somebody's just emailed 300+ people and forgot to blind copy.

so decided to draw attention to it by trying to recall the message

 

glad it's not me

 

I still remember the sick feeling I felt when a former colleague and teammate replied all in ill considered prose to a party invitation.  He thought he was forwarding it to his chum.

The word horsefat was involved.

Laz will corroborate this.

Another time a yank colleague responded to a classic "I'm going in house but I love u guys so much and have learned so much from such wonderful blaaaaah blahhh puke etc." email with "I can't believe I'm the only one of us left in this shythole FML!!!"

mate of mine in Chambers told me everyone received an email about the impending appointment of a new senior clerk, including the current senior Clerk. Hasty email to the Clerks room " do not read the latest email and delete immediatley" Right Oh

not the conservative party.  member of her majesty's armed forces. so probably not safe with advanced technology.

 

only solution I've found in the past was having to hack into the chairman's pa's email account and delete the (thankfully unread) emails she'd been copied in to by accident.

 

Anyone who even THINKS about using the useless "recall email" thing should be immediately fired on the spot without prospect of appeal, branded with the word "MORON" on their forehead, made to wear a cowbell, and be banned in perpetuity from any form of employment.

They're a danger to themselves and everyone else.

Just never even type anything that you would not be happy to have seen by all your colleagues / read out to the Queen / printed in the front page of the Daily Mail.  
 

Simples.
