Email threads?
2 comments

If cc’ing me, please no. Threads with loads of people includes are one of the more gross big-org features. At least I can not turn up to someone’s stupid meeting.
Most clients allow you to mute threads. You could also send emails from the most egregious offenders straight to trash.
These are perceived to be worse than meetings, again mainly by non-technical teams who have never seen email (tied to a web-based mailing list, specifically) used to drive decisions.
I think this is entirely based on your company and it’s silly to make that broad generalization since we’ve all heard the common mantra: “this could have been an email”.
