| Sep 16, 2019 at 14:18 | comment | added | Juliana Karasawa Souza | @JonBentley this is why it is the non-productive answer, and a potential comeback to an eventual complaint from the friend. There are not enough details to decide if the sender used the right approach or not, we only have one side of the story | |
| Sep 16, 2019 at 11:46 | comment | added | Jon Bentley | @JulianaKarasawaSouza By that logic, there's no need for any privacy at all. Everything can be made public and we can just rely on everyone not reading it. No, the point is that the fact that the friend can see everyone else's name implies that they can see his name too. | |
| Sep 16, 2019 at 7:43 | comment | added | Juliana Karasawa Souza | @JonBentley Speaking of nitpicking, the non-productive answer to the question would be for the friend to stop putting their nose on other people's business and reading the CC list of the email... | |
| Sep 15, 2019 at 15:43 | comment | added | Jon Bentley | @JörgWMittag You are nitpicking. Re-read the question: "This young man was so offended and said that he did not need to know other people's business from the list of names". What this answer means is that the list of people being reminded should be in BCC not in CC or To. | |
| Sep 15, 2019 at 15:42 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | @JonBentley: But according to the question, the people who needed the reminder were in To, not in CC, so they will still know everybody who needed a reminder. They just would no longer know that all the administrators also know everybody who needed a reminder. | |
| Sep 15, 2019 at 15:39 | comment | added | Jon Bentley | @JörgWMittag The answer explains why - "there is no reason why person A needs to know that person B also needed a reminder". | |
| Sep 15, 2019 at 2:37 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | "It would probably have been more polite if the sender had used bcc instead of cc." – Why? The email would have been sent to the exact same group of people, except the recipients wouldn't have known about it. | |
