I mis-worded the question, I think. Here's an example of the problem:
On Friday I sent an email to my kid's principal asking about COVID-related things. I cc'd my spouse. When the principal replied they pressed "reply" instead of "reply-all" and so I had to forward their response to my spouse.
This happens with incredible frequency and I'd like to set something up to allow my spouse and I to mutually participate in email conversations without having to train the other people in the conversation.
- brudgers 6y agoThere’s no etiquette issue in the principle’s email use. Cc’ing your spouse is your way of communication with your spouse. It does not follow from that that your spouse wants to be copied on the reply. I know this from personal experience as the spouse to someone who copies me on email I don’t care about being a part of. Historically, some were school related. Not that I didn’t care, but the executive summary at this end of the day was enough.
