Email Bloopers
from the don't-do-this dept
Some pretty funny email bloopers that have caused all sorts of problems. The main one discussed in the article is about a company that was hired by Networld Solutions to send out an invitation to a seminar to all its clients and prospective clients. The invitation went out, but with the subject line: "You Are A Loser". Not the best way to get business. There are a few other amusing email mistakes as well, including an elected official who wrote "reply to this nitwit" at the top of an email he meant to forward to an aide to respond to a constituent's complaint. Instead he hit reply and the constituent saw the nitwit comment.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
