Your Worst Email Gaffe - Freakonomics Asks


Funny . . . . that Stephen Dubner's worst email mistake is mistakenly sending an email to someone who thought he purposely copied the unintended recipient in order to insult them.  I know someone who actually did that purposely, believe it or not.  Sent an email to someone saying "I can't believe how stupid X is," and copied X on the email.  Only to later claim inadvertence.  It is one way of making a point to someone that you don't want to make directly.  Passive-aggressive I guess, but I'm sure it's done more frequently than people think.
