I think you kind of missed my point, for example if you are on the cc list for a series of emails that you are not directly involved in this strategy assumes that instead of you taking responsibility for catching up on this interaction when you return one or more people that are a part of this interaction need to take on that responsibility for you. This is effectively making them serve you in order to have your attention after you return from vacation.

That strikes me as casting yourself as more important than everyone else (not with respect to the interaction but as a person and/or employee).
