Not obsolete yet: To and Cc

I really wish Gmail wouldn’t obscure the difference between the To: and Cc: fields of my e-mail messages. This is most annoying at work, because I like to distinguish the primary recipients of my messages (people who must take action) from people who were copied for informational purposes.

E-mail wasn’t meant to resemble instant messaging.

And then there’s bcc: for bcc-people.

I literally just had a conversation about to and cc: etiquette, I should have just sent the person this explanation.

Ha. And this was the abridged version. I could go on for pages about my frustrations with workplace communications, but the people who need to read it never will. (They still haven’t read those important messages I sent them last week.)
