I am surprised about this point of view. When I send mail to someone, I do it in the belief the recipient can discuss it with whomever they want, even in public. Its their mail not mine. Also helps people behave nicely over mail if this pov holds true.
- michaelt 8y agoGuys, this is obviously situation-dependent. If I e-mail a support engineer who is helping a customer with a problem, I expect they may tell the customer everything I say. If I e-mail a colleague saying I'm worried our new product isn't up to our usual quality standards, I expect them to share that with other insiders but not risk embarrassing the company by releasing it publicly. If I e-mail HR asking if our medical insurance covers syphilis, I expect them to keep that private even from other insiders :)

- wruza 8y agoI had few people on my contact list sharing this pov a couple of decades ago. Hope they’re fine.
