some people will also use an old email to start a new one.
ie. they receive a msg from their boss saying "your frontline team doesn't know what they are doing about this follow up with them", and then they start a new msg in that window, and forward the old copy.
i actually had a politician do this to me before. i sent an email about a protest at my school, and it was from my work email (mistake one on my part, but my employers back me up) and it was forwarded to a politician who works for the same organization, saying "it is scary what some of these kids do for a living!", and then they followed up with me...with that in the email. they were in big ****!!!! i received a msg on my phone monday morning apologizing.0 -
Just got one like this from a guy 20 years my senior:
"
Awsome!
ps. how do [question]? - do I require more than a beard? tee hee..
Smiles,
[name]
"
...don't do any of that.0 -
Dont *****0

Don't use any smiley faces, frowny faces, etc. My boss hates them.
Oh and DO make sure you are actually sending the email to the right person. This one has screwed me a couple of times!0 -
Using Bible quotes in your signature.0

This so much. We have almost 2000 employees at our headquarters building (including manufacturing). Someone will send out an email to EVERYONE with something like "Missing Box for parts from Acme Widgets". Then people will use reply all to tell the sender to check with so and so, and then another person will reply all with something like 'oh I saw that box on the receiving dock'. Then finally the original sender will reply all again with 'missing box found'.

SPELL. WORDS. WRONG. Triple check if you have to.0
-
Or when you think you're reporting someone for foul language and how they're acting in the office, when instead of sending the email to your boss it was sent to that person, FML!!! LOL0

Hitting send with a message telling your boss to "Go *kitten* Themselves" when you meant to close it out entirely.0

ALL. OF. THIS.0 -
Forget to blind cc...0

don't use phrases that don't make sense like "peruse briefly". I made this mistake my first job out of college. No one called me out on it but I realized later than peruse meant to "examine carefully" lol0
-
Have the quote "Don't take life to seriously, nobody gets out alive anyways" as a signature and a blue cloudy background. Yep, a coworker of mine has that.0

One day, baby, one day.0 -
Don't plan to end your email with "Regards" ... The "g" and the "t" are awfully close together and if you don't look it over before you send........ awkwaaaaaaaaard..0

When our IT manager was standardizing our signature files, he thought everyone in the office should have their photo in their signature. The CEO and COO shot that down pretty quick, thank goodness.0

We had a secretary send out a bestiality clip on her email and CC'd her boss, the VP of the legal department.0

Be careful what you're forwarding. Something meant for one person's eyes isn't necessarily meant for another person's. It's called tact people!0

Don't talk about the boss or the company! One of my friends got fired for this!!! They pulled 3 months of emails and saw where she was doggin' out the dept and promptly fired her.
Don't reply to ALL when you only want to address ONE PERSON.0 -

My company actually disabled this in our email system for a while.0 -
Using Bible quotes in your signature.
unless that is appropriate for your job/position/office. You would expect that from a chaplain or pastor.0 -
Send religion based chain emails to everyone in your address book.
I've never done this, I'm on the receiving end.0
